    The monitor power supply is blown, bring the monitor to a computer repair shop for repairs (new PSU) or send it to Acer Services if still under warranty, explain you accidently used a wrong adapter.

    You cannot repair install cards/MOBOs yourself, this needs to be done by a computer technician, if there are no computer repair shops at your place send the monitor to Acer Services and they will give you an estimate of the costs that are usualy pre-paid before the repairs. If the repair costs exceed 50% of a new monitor price consider buying a new monitor.

    Hi @RaidM a power surge causes serious damage to the motherboard, in any case you should take the monitor to a technical service to assess the damage caused and find out the cost as long as this repair can be carried out.
    From the community it is not possible to know which components have been damaged.
    I don't know about Acer's warranty yet, but this type of problem is not covered.

    Thank you for participating in the Acer community.
    All the best.
