if you swap the monitors, does the other monitor physically work? does the secondary monitor appear in the display settings?

it has power. I can use the buttons to select the channel. The only place where my pc seems to recognise it is in the monitor selection screen of my drivers… i cant select it there. Not sure if it recognises the monitor or if its just a ghost from having previously recognised it

Have you connected the monitor to another system to rule it out?
If the pc isn’t seeing a 2nd monitor then it’s probably a graphics card issue.
If monitor 1 switches to monitor 2 port does it work?

I havn’t yet, might later today. But I’m convinced its a gpu thing at this point. Might have bashed the hdmi cable a little to hard in the port trying to install it or something dumb like that. Its the only thing that I can think off that slightly makes sense, as it was working perfectly 5 minutes before, and nothing else has happened (other than plugging in an HDD, and I already tried unplugging that)
