Monitor DP stopped working

Mr alex · March 3, 2018

So I have an AOC G2460PF and I use it with another 24 inch Samsung monitor and today I was using it fine without a problem and I went afk for a while and when I came back I found both monitors black (like normal) but when I moved my mouse only my secondary monitor turned back on and now ive no idea why this monitor wont work.

Ive tried restarting it, restarting my PC, updating my drivers and swapping the plugs but no luck. After this I decided to see if it was the monitor display itself but after testing it with a HDMI it worked perfect. Obviously id rather use the DP to achieve the 144hz so Id like to knmmow how to fix it.

I'm currently using a 1060 with 1 DP, 1 HDMI and 1 DVi. Normally id test it with a different DP wire but unfortunealty I don't havea spare one anyone to use.

Any help is great thank you.

try unplugging monitor power cable while pc is off and on

I had this issue all the time now I just use no sleep and screensaver

think this is how windows treats dp plug and play properties

I've tried that, I'd say it's the DP port on the monitor or the cable that's gone.
