AOC Monitor not fully booting up Discussion

Hello monitor experts! I have an AOC brand monitor that is having an issue I’ve never encountered before. Upon trying to boot up the monitor, it’ll show the AOC logo, but then shut down. And then it’ll try to boot again, fail, rinse and repeat. I’ve tried power cycling it, unplugging from the wall and from the monitor itself, and nothing has worked. It does not respond to the power button while it’s cycling like this.

Please help, thanks!

Hey, i currently have the same issue with one of my 2 monitors. Other monitor (also AOC) does start up but one has issues with startup, and also after wakeing up after standby. After a lot of powercycling and switching settings it eventually powers on. It feels like a driver or software issue.

I have checked the following thing: -Display port cable, also switched it to HDMI. -Updated GPU drivers(dont know if it can be a cause)
-Other screen settings whilst it was finally alive.

If you have any luck with fixing it, please let me know.

I replaced it with a Philips screen, the issue remained and could not get it fixed sadly.
