[SOLVED] Display Port Malfunction

[user.anonymous]

Hello! I am currently working on powering my pc. While the pc itself is working, the monitor leading to the display ports seems to “snooze” whenever I attempt to turn it on. The monitor I was provided with has a miniDP and regular DP that is connected within the same cable. I am using the regular sized display port to connect directly to my graphics card. Any thoughts on how to power on the pc? I can provide photos if need be.

Is there a sleep function enabled on your monitor that could be causing it to snooze?

I'm not sure. If there was one, where would I find the sleep function on or around the monitor without logging into the pc?

On the monitor settings itself. Use the buttons on the side/back/bottom to navigate the menus and see if you can find anything of that sort.

I tried that once and was able to play with the dp settings, but now the monitor won't turn on it all and settings won't respond/no glow up button to indicate monitor is functioning at all. Anything else that might help?

Cycle through all available inputs using buttons on monitor.
Most likely current settings display signal from input, where no cable is connected.

I just attempted that but I only have buttons on the front of the monitor apart from the power button. I poked around at them for a bit but nothing has changed

Do you have another power supply cable that you can use on your monitor? Also try another outlet.

Outlet is working fine; tested with both a lamp and switching places with the psu cable and monitor cable. I do not have another power supply cable on hand. I was actually thinking of going out to buy a different dp cable to see if the one I have is faulty or if I could see better luck with a dp to HDMI cable connector, but I would prefer to find some other solution with the dp I have.
The weird thing about the monitor is when I lay it flat on its face the power button flickers on and off, and then off again as soon as I return it to a normal position.

DP cables are known to go bad depending on what you get. Make sure you read the reviews on the cables you get.

That explains a lot; I ended up reading some pretty nasty reviews on this one after researching the product further today. I'll see what I can do; thank you for your help.

Oh yeah some cables on amazon can be really bad...
