My pc was on and working fine when the monitor just turned off. I checked the power cable and the plug fuse had blown. I replaced the power cable but now the monitor won't turn on. There is no light. Nothing. Any ideas on what has gone wrong and what i need to fix/replace? Thanks
Sounds like one problem: A failed monitor. For sure, try another monitor on the PC first, in order to rule it out (hopefully!) So... your otherwise standard-looking power cable has a fuse in its plug and that fuse was blown? Then you put a standard power cord on the monitor but it was still dead? If this is the case, then the monitor needs component-level troubleshooting, probably in the power supply section.

Your problem is really multiple problems. One is if the monitor blew out, the second is weather it damaged the computer when it went, the third is if the computer went first killin the monitor. I would first see if your computer is ok by turning it on with out any monitor connected and listen to hear if it sounds as usual. If not something may be wrong with your computer. If everything is ok plug in another monitor (borrow from a freind if you do not have a spare) and see that the computer is ok. If it's ok great but if there is a problem with the computer that is a whole new question.Next if the monitor's on light does not come on and you know it has power the monitor is most likely fried. Hope this helps and could use more details
