If the Monitor Power is flashing then there is no data signal reachign it from your CPU.If you are bale to, open the CPU, remove the memory chip RAM and re insert it. Be careful not to disturb anything els and ensure the memory is properly reinserted. If you are in doubt get someone qualified to do it for you
Take a look behind the computer. If there is more than one monitor port, try plugging the monitor into the other one. Also, certain monitor cards are notorious for not staying in the slot if you move the plug from the monitor around, or even unscrew it. My best bet is that if you open the case (turn off and pull the power plug first, then touch the frame to release static, you'll see that the back of the card is pulled up a little, exposing the connectors on the bottom. Pull the card all of the way out and reseat it into the slot. If the card was not connected before it should be now. Good luck.

The power light start out green then after about a second gives one long orange flash followed by three short orange flashes. The problem occurred in a similar way to the post to which this question is attached in that the computer was moved several thousand miles. It sort of started up with something on the monitor but would not bot in the normal way. I thought is might be the small lithium battery and replaced it. No joy. I removed and replaced the RAM still not working other than the flashing power button. Suggestions please?
After waiting a few mins, does it finally come on? (what is the model #)?
