Hey everyone! I'm having a bit of a problem with my computer. It seems to be running fine, but my monitor is just showing a blank screen, even though it's powered on. I recently downloaded The Sims 4 and had to clear some storage by deleting old screenshots and stuff, but nothing significant. Since I'm pretty new to computers, I'm not sure what to try next. Any advice?

Check if you accidentally hit the off button on your monitor! It's easy to miss that little button sometimes.
Have you tried adjusting the brightness on your keyboard? Look for the brightness icon, usually on the right side. It's a simple fix that could save you a lot of hassle. If that doesn't do it, consider restarting your computer, as it often fixes various issues.
Does your monitor show anything when you change the input settings? Try switching between options like HDMI-1 and HDMI-2 to see if that might help.
First things first, try connecting a different device to your monitor. If that works, then the issue might be with your screen. Sometimes an LCD's backlight can go out, so grab a flashlight and shine it on the screen; if you see a faint image, that's likely the problem. You could either replace the backlight or the entire screen if needed.
Just curious, are you using a laptop or a desktop? That could help narrow down the issue.
