Detect second monitor

After a power failure my Mac Studio can no longer detect my second monitor? HELP. I've tried the basic solutions (reconnecting, shutting down/reconnecting/restarting). It used to work. Checked the second monitor on another computer - still works fine.

Mac Studio, macOS 14.2

Thank you.

If I understand correctly, it is the Dell on the USB-C to DisplayPort that is no longer detected...?


If it is, then I would get and test a short quality USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cable.

for example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09M3BFHPP/ref=sspa_dk_detail_5?


It is well known, that Mac's do not do well on long cheap DisplayPort or HDMI cables.

Plus macOS updates are also known for breaking weak inferior cables and adapters.
