Monitor dead?

[vroom_skies]

Well last night I was just lisitening to music and my monitor went into stand by, so I just moved and it "woke up". So about 20 or so minutes later it went into stand by again, I tried to wake it up, but notihng happened. I then turned my computer off and restarted, but nothing would appear on the screen. All that happened was that the led next to the power switch would constantly blink. I then complete turned off my computer, psu and surge protector and still nothing worked, the light just continued to blink. I made sure to check all connections, but to no avail. Any help would be great, Bob

Key monitor facts:
-19'' ViewSonic E90F+ (CRT)

It sounds like the monitor is dead. I don't think it's your video card because your computer didn't make any beeping sounds. If you have a spare monitor try plugging that in or go to a friend's house and plug their monitor into your computer and see if it works.

I forgot to add that I hooked up my roomates laptop to my monitor and had the same results.

i would say your monitors dead.

Ok, so if it is dead. What part do you think died? Also just curious how much does it cost to get a monitor repairer?

Thanks, Bob.

What failed? Your guess is as good as mine. Do not waste your time or money repairing a dead monitor... unless it's in warranty, you'll spend less buying a new one.

Since it's dead you'll want to look for a new monitor right away.

Here are some monitors that are the same size as your dead one.
