    That’s pretty impressive work. Buy a new screen.

    You can try to reseat the cables, but it’s not looking good.

    A “really powerful firecracker” did that??

    Did you check the NDDS?? You might be the victim of a high altitude EMP.

    You sure it wasn’t a transformer on a powerline pole blowing up? Is your monitor plugged directly into the wall or into a surge protector?

    It could be that the shockwave of the firecracker managed to loosen or partially disconnect one of the internal ribbon connectors within the display.

    I’d RMA/Warranty it if you’re still covered, if not, open up your monitor and reseat them, it’s already acting screwy anyway.

    How sure are you that it was a firecracker and not just one of the components on the monitors pcb popping?

    This is something I would only see from a physical damaged monitor. So it is very odd making this a great mystery.
