Answer 1

Hi,

Is this a Dell Monitor or a Laptop which has the issue?

I had accidentally pressed the 1st button above the power button on my Dell U2311H Monitor while tilting it.  Holding this button for >10 seconds toggles if from "Lock" to "Unlock".   Simply hold button to either lock/unlock.

I look forward to hearing from you with the results of the troubleshooting.
