Acer Monitor KA252Q suddenly died. No standby LED, adapter tested OK. Repair or replace?

Open | Hardware

Hi everyone,

My Acer Monitor KA252Q suddenly stopped turning on.

It first started randomly shutting off while I was using it. Unplugging and plugging the power adapter back in would make it work again. This happened several times over the past few weeks.

Last night, after I finished using it, I unplugged it as usual. When I plugged it back in, it was completely dead. The standby LED no longer lights up at all.

I already tried a power reset and had the original 12V 2A adapter tested with a multimeter. The adapter is outputting the correct voltage.

Does this sound like a blown fuse, bad power board, failed power IC, DC input issue, or something else?
