2. Power or Connection Issue: Ensure the monitor is properly powered on and connected to the PC.
3. Firmware or Software Issue: Restart the monitor and check if the issue persists. Updating firmware might help.
4. Physical Damage or Dirt: Inspect the buttons for any physical damage, debris, or dirt that may be obstructing their function.
5. OSD Settings Reset: If possible, reset the monitor settings to default via the control button.
