    Stuck buttons in Samsung SyncMaster 152T LCD monitor

    The buttons on my Samsung SyncMaster 152T are 'stuck' or whatever I should call it.. whatever button I press on, it repeats itself once after a moment, from a few seconds to a few minutes. Examples:
    I press the power button, it turns on, after a moment it turns off.
    I press the power button, it turns on, then I touch the Auto adjustment button, then it will auto adjust once every few seconds to a few minutes.

    Does anyone here encountered this problem before and fixed it successfully? Is it a problem with the controller board or it will go away just by taking the monitor apart then building it again?

    Sounds like the board is using coal based contacts, you know the types found in TV remotes for example...

    Does the button have that feel or is it a "click" feel?

    If it is the former you can probably take it apart and wipe it off with a rag and it should be ok again

      it probably suffered a spill of something.
      i would take the switch board out and wash in alcohol.
      if that doesnt fix it you may need to replace the switches.

        The buttons are click feel ones.

          I had a problem like this with my Gateway VX900 monitor. I'm a heavy smoker, and I cleaned the screen with windex, and let it run down into the buttons. After that they all were sticking. I dampend a toothbrush with windex, and brushed in all the cracks around the buttons. Next I dampend the brush with plain water, and brushed the cracks around the buttons again. then I used a hair dryer on it. It fixed it right up. Give it a try but don't get things dripping wet, just lightly wet. Cheers! Its Friday!

          There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

            HannStar Hanns-G HC194d LCD monitor repair

            Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...
