I have an LG 5 K UltraFine monitor. There is a connection issue; sometimes it works, but now it doesn't work at all. I have read that this could be a logic board or Thunderbolt port issue. The repair estimate seems larger than the current value. Looking for any last-minute tips since LG and Apple don't offer support.

the vast majority os display issues users encounter turn out to be inadequate cables for the ferocious high speed r=data transmission rates required to keep a high-end display satisfied, without ANY dropped frames, and for most recent MacOS, without any transmission errors.
that LG 5K Thunderbolt-3 display can only use the ThunderBolt-3 cable that shipped in the box, or another Thunderbolt cable limited to 0.5 meters in length.
if you need more cable length, you MUST use a much more expensive (starts at US$125) ACTIVE ThunderBolt cable.
Thunderbolt 5 cables are high quality, but actually do not support higher signaling rates for this use.

if your Thunderbolt-3 cable is 0.5 meters or shorter, then the issue is likely elsewhere.
Thank you for the reply. I have used the ThunderBolt-3 and it is not working, do you think it is worth trying the ACTIVE ThunderBolt cable?
