Troubleshooting a Black Screen on a Curved Monitor – A Cry for Assistance

Having problems with your curved monitor can be incredibly frustrating, especially when it seems to work partially but still displays a completely black screen. I recently encountered just such an issue with my CRUA 1080p 165Hz curved monitor, which has left me searching for answers.

The Incident

My troubles began after an unfortunate accident. A shelf above my desk collapsed, causing a heavy plant to tumble down and strike the area behind my desk. The impact not only yanked the power cable from the monitor but also tipped it precariously against the wall. Ever since this mishap, my monitor has been unable to display anything beyond a black screen.

Interestingly, the monitor powers on, the status light is operational, and both my PC and laptop detect the monitor when connected. I can even drag windows over to this seemingly functional display, but all that appears is darkness. What’s more puzzling is that I can’t access the monitor’s built-in menu, and it doesn’t display any “no signal” messages.

Steps Taken

To resolve the issue, I’ve taken several measures:
– I ensured that the power cable is indeed the right one for my monitor and tested its functionality.
– In an effort to rule out any issues with the cable, I even replaced it with a new one.

Despite these efforts, the black screen persists, and I remain baffled by it.

Seeking Solutions

Unfortunately, my monitor’s warranty has expired, so I’m left without support from the manufacturer. I reached out to local PC repair shops, only to learn that most don’t service monitors, which has further complicated my search for a solution.

At this point, I’m really hoping to avoid the expense of purchasing a new monitor. I’m reaching out to the community for any insights or troubleshooting tips that could help me revive my curved display. If you have experienced similar issues or have suggestions on what I can do next, your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Conclusion
