My brother turned his Sylvania monitor on its side for approximately 4 seconds and when he turned it right side up it had a blue tint in the background to everything. he tried degaussing or whatever. he turned it back on its side to see what happened and corners went rainbow and the computer rebooted itself. Now the computer wont reboot, said some files are missing. He rebooted, now it wont even detect the hard drive. the tower is located under the desk beneath the monitor. Are these related or a weird coincidence that it happened the same time? Any advice on how to fix it?
