Samsung Curve Monitor T55 black screen suddenly - Lemmy.World

I have the T55 27inch curve monitor that randomly went to a black screen and will not display anything. No built-in menu, no pop up saying searching for inputs like HDMI. Nothing. I was playing “For the King 2”, and my monitor just goes dark. My pc was still running the game and I could hear others in Discord just fine. Right now i am unsure of what to do. I have tried the following: * Unplug monitor for 30+ seconds * Checked HDMI cable * Held the Jog switch for 1 minute * Plugged monitor into the wall * Tried using the directional functions on jog switch (just cause screen to flicker on and off but nothing is displayed. * Restarting computer (which obviously did nothing). Am at a loss right now. Had this monitor for about 3 years so I think the warranty is gone. What do I do if it doesn’t start working in its own again?

First step will always be to try it with another computer/laptop/etc. The fact that you’re not getting a menu doesn’t bode well, though…

Is the screen black or is the whole monitor unpowered? It might be hard to tell the difference, but would be a good first hint as to what’s gone wrong.

Thanks for replying.

I have just plugged my monitor into my Nintendo Switch, and still nothing on-screen BUT sound comes through the speakers.

So that’s a good sign.

I do NOT have the jog switch menu memorized so idk how to mess with brightness to see if it went to zero some how.
