Hi,
I’m new here and am quite desperate for help - Would really appreciate if someone can give we some advice on fixing a broken monitor. It’s widescreen curved Electriq monitor which is out of warranty and the manufacturer says they won’t repair.
Here’s what happened: I plugged in a (probabaly to powerful) power supply into a USB-C in my laptop and the cable connecting the computer to the screen (again via USB-C) started sparking so I quickly unplugged it… It left burnt residue on the port. The screen turned on for a few days but now won’t even turn on. I’ve checked the fuse in the plug, taken apart the monitor and I can’t see anything on on the circuit board or the ‘power board’ (?) that is burnt or disconnected? And the capacitors look fine. Here are pictures.

Any advice on what else I can check much appreciated! Or even just say it’s game over![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks in advance
