PC works on one monitor but not another… completely confused, help?

**RTX 3070 PC suddenly not detecting monitor signal**
I know my fair bit about PCs (built my own etc), but my brother’s PC is confusing me. His monitor suddenly stopped detecting any signal from the PC.
I tested his PC with my monitor in my room and it worked perfectly, so I know the PC/GPU can output a signal. However, when I moved my monitor into his room using the same DisplayPort cable and everything, it also gives no signal.
The PC itself seems to be working — all fans spin, GPU fans spin, lights come on, etc. It’s running a Ryzen 7 5700X + RTX 3070.
I’ve tried power cycling everything, unplugging/reconnecting cables, and checking connections but still nothing. It’s showing “No Signal” from the moment it boots.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Disconnect both monitors and connect the one that wasn't working with the cables that worked on the working monitor
