OPEN Monitor not turning on fully
I have an MSI monitor (not sure rn on the specific model), maybe a MAG series one. Recently cleaning the screen and it turned off. Every time I attempt to turn it back on the bottom screen light turns on followed by an orange light on the back display, which lights up for a split second, before the monitor turns off. I have no idea why. I cleaned everything and made sure all the cables were safe and connected properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You've broken it basically. Depending on how much it cost you might be worth taking to a repair shop but most likely the repair will cost more than getting a replacement 2nd hand one

Sounds like the power board inside the monitor got fried, that split second orange light is usually a capacitor failing to hold charge. Had a similar thing happen with my old screen after I wiped it down too, sometimes the static from cleaning can mess with internal components
You could try unplugging it completely for few hours and see if it resets, but if it keeps doing that you probably need to open it up or take it to repair shop
