So I was playing SC2 today when I was called away. I paused the game (Which was fullscreen on the middle of 3 monitors running on a GTX 680) and left. I'm assuming that my system shut down on it's inactive timer.

Anyway, when I came back, my middle monitor no longer works.

It doesn't matter what input I use, or what source (multiple computers).

If I power the monitor without sources, then plug in a source, it flashes briefly, then returns to standby mode.

If I plug it into my 680, all other monitors go black. When removed, they return to normal.

I tried to set up multiple monitors on my laptop, but it told me it could not apply the action because something was playing full screen.

Is it possible the monitor is stuck in some wierd mode and it just needs a reset (and if so, how? I cannot access the menu)

Or is it dead?

Try unplugging the monitor's power cable for a minute, then try again. That should fix it if it's stuck in some weird state.
 
That's a shame, it's a terrific monitor for the price. Best thing I can suggest is leaving it unplugged overnight.

I've tried unplugging the monitor and letting it drain via holding the power switch, but it's still acting stupid. It seems really bizarre.
