So my monitor has been great for several years..

I can't remenber the exact model, but it's an S-series 27" IPS, 1440p, 165hz, freesyc premium, & HDR400

Once or twice over the last few weeks it's just lost power, like out like a light and struggles to turn back on... no other symptoms.

The rest of the PC is running fine, the speakers are seperate but plugged into the same 8 gang belkin extension cable brick that the PC and monitor are plugged into, PC is still on, internet radio still comming through my speakers.. its almost as if someone just unpluged the power cable for the monitor. Black screen, power button on monitor unresponsive.

I've resolved it by turning the whole lot off at the wall and reseating the monitor kettle lead and DP cable and it randomly works fine again.

I'm at a loss as to whats causing it though.. bad kettle lead or DP cable? bad power button on monitor? bad power brick?
