[SOLVED] AOC I2367FH, is mine dead?

[shifornob]

So I have 2 monitors, one is a HP Omen and the other is the AOC monitor mentioned in the title. The Omen one works fine but when I turn on the AOC one it blinks the desktop for a split second and then goes to black. The monitor LED is showing blue which means it's on and there is an image being displayed, well clearly not in this case. I've tried everything I know, unplugging and plugging back the HDMI cable back in, switching ports, blowing into the cable, unplugging the power and reconnecting. Nothing seems to work. It's definitely not the HDMI port as I tried the HDMI port on my motherboard and it still didn't work, it's also not the cable since I tried it with my working Omen monitor and it worked.

All GPU drivers are up to date, is this monitor definitely dead? It was working fine yesterday.

After all you tried. Yes it sounds like the monitor died.

Last thing to check would be power outlet. Have you tried to use another power cable and outlet jack to ensure that isnt the issue?

Yeah I've tried that with no success, is there any reason why monitors suddenly die like this?

100s of reason. It could have a lightning strike at one point or a power flicker or just defect in parts when it was manufactured etc...

Its like a car... why does the water pump just die or control arms need replacements etc...
