Barely 6 month old AOC monitor turning off after 5 minutes

[AlexIsNice]

Hello,I bought an AOC monitor around 6 months ago,it has been working perfectly until close to 3 days ago,one ordinary day randomly it started flickering (black then normal)for a minute and then went completely black,at first I thought it must be the cable different cable still the same thing,different PC still the same thing.Does anyone have any clue on how I can fix it without sending it back?Thank you

If it has an external power supply you can try a different one. It sounds like you already tested anything else it could be. It’s still under warranty so you’re better off just doing an RMA. If it was out of warranty it would be a different story.

It does have an external power supply that is actually aftermarket 

 

 

do you reckon that could be the issue?

Do you still have the original or another that’s compatible with your monitor? If not you could always order one off amazon to see if that resolves your issue. If not, RMA.
