Update bricked my external monitor

I have an LG external monitor that I use with my macbook air. The most recent software update totally bricked it. The sound isn't working, and it no longer charges my battery. The device shows up in sound settings, but the output volume section is greyed out. Gahhhhh I hate when an update does F***all for me other than disrupt my life

And what did LG support or their help site have to say?
