You guys rock. I did a hard shut down on my computer. After that when I booted it up the monitors were not waking up. I read through the article above, unplugged my dual monitors, shut down and unplugged the computer, came back a couple minutes later and BAM, everything is working.

I really thought I was going to be spending my entire day figuring this out.

Thank you soooooooooo much.

i might also add the on off button on the monitor remained blue (which is usually on), and could not be altered , indeed it was as if the monitor had crashed(confused look ), after unpluging the monitor for 20/30 seconds and replugging, the lit switch and monitor worked perfectly, powering down.....until the next time :( .

it appears i too have been bitten by the monitor problem, i also have a viewsonic monitor22", it ha s been perfect for a couple of years, suddenly when turning the computer on it`s not coming on more often than not,
i tried the reboot thing to no avail, my young brother suggested i unplug the plug at the monitor for about 20 seconds and plug it back in, sure enough on it comes, i will see if i can dig up another cable and try again, thanks Leo.

@Paul
You might want to try plugging your monitor into another computer to see if the problem is with the monitor or the computer.

My issue is that I've replaced my CPU, and now when I turn the computer on the power light is orange, instead of blue, and despite the new cpu's fan and video card's fan working properly - The display refuses to turn on despite any power cycling and the psu in it's already a newer one, but 750watts. Any ideas?

That was it, I thought it might be my video card or hard drive. Turns out I just cut power to the surge protector and flipped it back on. Upon booting the PC everything worked including the monitor. Thank You.

My problem is that my display won't turn on. I can see clearly power is going to my computer. The lights are lighting up and flashing and there is also a light where the power button is and that is lighting up too. The fan is moving meaning there is activity going on inside it. Its just the display. Ive turned it off and on with the power cycle but nothing shows. Can you help me out?

I've been having the same problem, started this morning when I woke up. Switched my PC on and my desktop started but the monitor did not. I could hear the fan on but that's pretty much it.

How do you reboot your monitor with a power cycle?

Power Cycle simply means turning the monitor off and back on again with its power switch.

In your article you didn't mention a senerio I have, regards monitor not turning on. My issue concerns, when I boot the computer, then turn on the monitor, the monitor immediatley kicks off. I tried with a different monitor, the same happened. I replaced the video card, still the same thing happens.

My new computer has been working great. I left it on all night and noticed the screen saver working when I went to bed just fine. When I got up, the monitor was off and the power light on the monitor was amber as well as the light on the tower (flashing). I moved my mouse around, pressed some keys and nothing. I unplugged it, plugged it back in, pressed the power on button and all I get are the amber lights. Any suggestions?

Since it restarted once it was plugged back in it might be as simple as a bad outlet on the surge suppressor. I had that happen to me once, after three hours of useless farting about I plugged the monitor directly into the way and it worked fine. Replaces the surpressor and all was fine again. It was a single bad outlet.
