With the pc OFF and the monitor ON, does your monitor flash a message with something like "Monitor self test complete Check PC Not receiving signal" or a similar message?

If you can tell me if you get this message or not, I can tell you if you need to ask your mom and dad for monitor money!

In fact, unplug the monitor from the electrical outlet, then disconnect the monitor from your video card on the computer.

Then, plug the monitor into the electrical outlet and turn it on. Do you get a message display on the monitor?

If not, and the power lite just flashes green/amber, then your monitor is probably junk. If you get a message that appears like the one I posted earlier, then, most likely, your video card or some other part of your PC is involved.
