The rest of my PC works fine, it is just the monitor cord or plug whatever that has a problem

I would just buy a new monitor lol
You need a new monitor
Looks like the entire pin has disintegrated
Open the monitor and get your free 5090 out.
Buy a new cord?
Post on Reddit for internet likes.
Buy a new house
open the monitor and replace the power jack and the cord, then also try to figure out why this one melted
is there a short somewhere in the monitor?
Venmo me $50
Well first your cable is toast so toss it in the recycling.
Secondly I’d look at the connector in the monitor and figure out how it happened, more than likely your monitor will be toast too.
Brother, what have you done to that monitor?
Check warranty coverage if you’re looking to recoup some money from the fault.
Your monitor+Cable did their job and burnt out instead of burning down your house.
That being said that aint normal. Looks like there’s some wet corrosion and rust. Do you live in a humid/seaside location?
Get a new monitor… and check your surge protector.
(If you don’t have one, then I figured out what happened)
Get a new monitor.
Any repairs on a power system inside a monitor will be more that a new monitor
I would look at replacing the socket inside the monitor, but since you are asking here, get a new monitor.
unplug from wall, cut the wall pug off the cord as close as possible to the plug, then put in recycling.
Put the fire out.
Plug it back in, coward
Short or a shitty plug not making good contact with the prong. get a new monitor/plug and be relieved your house didn’t burn down. maybe check the outlet too just incase.
Check the outlet for damage too
Don’t trust anything from now on
Buy an air conditioner
So what does the power outlet look like? And I don’t mean the surge protector or PSU.
That’s not melt, that’s corrosion. You can see rust and green. The corrosion caused the leads to thin until they were too thin to pass current without getting hot, then melting. But the cause is liquid, and melting was the result. Looks like water was in the socket when it went in, and possibly something dripping on the monitor then into the socket?
Up your home insurance
Put the manufacturer on blast in hopes they take care of you for good PR? I dunno. Is it still under warranty? Did you have it plugged into a power strip plugged into a power strip plugged into another power strip or something? Did you not have the connector pushed all the way in? Just asking because these kinds of things usually just don’t happen out of nowhere
Hey! You probably don’t need to get a new monitor like some people are saying. It looks like you are near some humidity or something because I see some rust below that port. Not sure.
I had a port replaced once for 60 bucks. If this is a good monitor then it’s definitely worth fixing it up.
Blame Nvidia.
definitely don’t use it again.
Why were you playing at 1000 Hz?!
This is a rare occurrence. Replacing the cord might work, but the monitor itself might have some electronics / electrical issues.
Better get a new monitor.
…..buy a new monitor.
remove your intel i9 from your monitor
I see signs of corrosions.
