Comment on Fix one thing... break another

I recently ran into much the same problem, a power outage fried my second screen. My computer wouldn’t recognize it any more, no matter which port and which cable I used. I even ordered a fucking HDMI to DisplayPort adapter to try if that made any difference. Sadly to no avail, because when that one didn’t work either, and I already knew the screen was still working from running a smart TV dongle on it.

Eventually I had the brilliant idea to switch the HDMI cable to the second input on the screen itself and not just the graphics card, and that finally did the trick. The outage had apparently fried HDMI input 1 on my second screen.
