Hi Everyone
I am just reaching out because my old faithful 27 inch monitor just turned off one day and wouldn't turn on again.
If I unplug it for 5 minutes and then plug it in.
It comes on but then switches off again after about minute and stays off until I unplug it again.
I've been reading about it and appears it might be power delivery to the panel.
I did overclock to 75hz using custom resolution utility so I was thinking that might have shortened the life.
I have since reset the settings to factory default but no change in behaviour
I hink the screen needs to be opened and perhaps a repair on the PCB or something.
Is there anyone in Durban that fixes screens with such issues?
Or must I save up and buy another one?
Then where can I recycle this screen?
Please help.
PS. I promise not to overclock again.
