I plugged my PS5 into my monitor through HDMI. (Fun). When I switch back to my Razer Blade 15” Advanced (2019) (which importantly, uses USB-C/thunderbolt) -- no signal. I cycled all power, tried other cables, and tried it on a separate monitor (which worked fine). It seems like my USB-C monitor input on my monitor blew out?
 
Did you cycle through the input selections on the display?

Also, on the laptop, same question for the display modes (internal, external, internal/external)?
 
Yes, I restarted the computer and cycled through the monitor inputs.
Concerning display modes, the computer doesn't detect the monitor at all, so there's nothing to toggle, I think.
 
I'm sorry, somehow I mixed two of my question threads into one. I just deleted the second question, so COLGeek, your second reply isn't relevant, I think.
To recap, look at my two posts above, as I'm trying to go from USB-C/thunderbolt to USB-C/thunderbolt. All cables and computers works with a different monitor.

And I just tried a second laptop with all cables and monitors with the same result. The monitor's USB-C/thunderbolt is not working.

I'm sorry if I'm unclear. I'm connecting my Razer laptop to an external HP monitor through USB-C/thunderbolt to USB-C/thunderbolt. (HDMI works in every case).
But my computer is 2019 so I don't think it's under warranty. Since the monitor works with other computers (and cables) it's the monitor, no?
 
Sorry, but you have not been clear. What is the model of the HP monitor you are trying to use? Previously, you mentioned a different monitor (deleted post) altogether.
