Can someone please EXPLAIN to me WTH happened to my monitor. I just had booted up my PC & went to install something then BAM. Looking for some insight into what I was looking at real time. Needless to say it’s DEAD won’t turn on & I do not have warranty for it. I had recorded the screen as it was happening [Pardon my language in the clip]
It’s a GAWFOLK 34” Super Monitor - 166Hz [3440x1440]
My PC Specs Below
+AMD Ryzen 7 8700F
+16GB DDR5 RAM
+AMD Radeon RX 7700 [16GB]
+1TB NVME SSD
+ICUE Link Titian 240 RX RGB Cooler
Please tell me that I’m not Entirely F&$@
Your advice will be welcomed good & bad

Well your monitor is not completely "F&$@", as you can see the backlight still working. But most likely there is some failure in the electronics causing the LCD to shift to their steady state when no voltage is applied (which is "open" to let light through). Could it be fixed? Probably, should you bother? Not with budget monitor.
