    Look for your monitor name, right click, click "Properties".
    There should be something in there tha would help.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    Wild guess, google said

    If the power button is locked, the warning message Power Button Lockout displays. ◦ If the power button is locked, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to unlock the power button function. ◦ If the power button is unlocked, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to lock out the power button function.
