Is my HP Pavilion 27bw ded?

So i was doing some rearranging of my setup, got everything setup right, never bumped my monitor that i know of. (i baby it.)

But i do remember when i plugged my desktop into the same power strip as the monitor was plugged into, it sparked. This has happened before, so now i flick the power button on my power supply just to be safe.

So fast forward to me booting my rig up, only my second monitor turned on. Okay, check all the cords unplug everything multiple times and try all the things people were suggesting on my google search. (hold power for 10 seconds etc...)

What have i done? Did i fry it, and if so is there anyway to fix it with new capacitors etc?

Thanks, i'm really bummed out, only had it for a year or so and not in a position to buy another.

check your monitors AC Adapter with a voltmeter maybe its fried.

I just figured it out, i switched the power cable with one from an old Compaq and it turned right on. The only thing i am worried about now is if its possible to over-volt it because it was not intended for this cable.

are you using the ac power brick from a compaq or just the break away cable?

Just the break away, that connects from the wall to the brick.

no worries then its fine
