Monitor power cord shorted out

[Vynstes]

Hey guys, so today I was using my computer when the power randomly decided to go out. I go to turn my computer back on, and realize one of my monitors won't come on. The computer is still reading the monitor, so I know that it is completely fine - so I checked the power cord. The power "brick" (I guess you would call it) shorted out, even though it was plugged into a surge protector. My question for you guys is - is there any way to fix this? I mean, I'll pay the $16 to get a new one if need be, but if there is some way to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You don't ix $16 items that have shorted out. You replace them.

i dont see how the cable could be damaged without damaging the monitor or the gpu.
have you tried another cable? in the same ports on the gpu and screen?

Yup, I've tried it with a different cord. Everything works fine. My friend has the same power brick that he doesn't use, so I'll just go grab that.

I mean I would, but just found another one for free. Either way, thanks for the answer. That's what I was planning on doing anyways.
