Monitor-Problems

For starters, I'll give the basic trouble I'm running into. When I boot up my PC, the monitor... doesn't do shit. The monitor-light turns orange, which indicates that the monitor KNOWS that it's plugged into SOMETHING.

The strangest part of the mess is that I had everything running smoothly for a few days, but then the monitor stopped receiving signals again after I moved the setup to another room of my house. I'm using the very same monitor that isn't displaying anything on a different PC so that I can post this message!

If this isn't a garden-variety problem with a general solution, here's the specs; eMachine (model T3516), with a nVidia GeForce 6200 LE graphics-card.

If your sure everything is OK with the graphics card, turn on the monitor and shine a flash light on the screen. If you see output (i.e. desktop, post) then your power board is out. happens when you buy cheap flat screens(assuming you have a flat screen)
