Hi all,

Currently I am using a 1440p Dell monitor as my main one, and as my 2nd monitor off the left I am using a HP ZR24w.

Just now as I was in the middle of playing iRacing, the HP monitor "just went black".

The blue power light is still on and Windows is detecting its there, allowing me to drag windows over there etc, but its just totally black. When I turn the PC off the blue power light goes to yellow, back to blue when I turn the PC on and it detects an input.

The thing which is making me pretty much certain that its broken is that the little settings menu doesnt appear when I press the button.

I've had it since 2011 and when I last checked the hours-used tool within the monitor it had something like 24,000 hours of use lol. I really don't want it to be broken though since its money I dont want to spend tbh lol.

Is there anything I can try to see if its really broken or uncover whatever gremlin is making it not display anything?

Cheers.
