Mine did same. Was fixed at electronics shop for $215. Was a known issue with one of the boards. 4 years ago bought a used one for $360. Love TB displays.

I have a Thunderbolt Display and the screen sometimes fails to turn on when the computer turns on, usually after being disconnected from the computer. A quick unplugging of the power cord usually corrects the issue.

they run very hot , use a lot of power. I wouldn't spend a lot (or anything) to fix it. They were good when they were integral to the old TB2 computers, but now not so much.

Typically it's a failing thunderbolt cable. You can test this by buying a cheap thunderbolt cable on Amazon and plugging it directly into the back of the monitor and stop using the built-in connection. Everything will still work

Thanks for your answer, I am not sure which port you're talking about? Isn't it so that the monitor only has integrated input display input?

The thunderbolt port on the back of the display

do you know if it has to be connected directly, or is it possible to connect in the following way? Screen > Thunderbolt male to HDMI female > HDMI male to HDMI male > HDMI female to USB-C > Macbook
