You may have a bad cable. Connect using a separate TB cable from your Mac directly to the TB port on the monitor and see what happens.

You do not understand. Get another TB cable and connect from your Mac to the extra TB port on the display. This will bypass the built in cord (do not use). This will determine if the built in cord is bad.

Do the ports at the back of the display still work when you do this?
