How to fix a blank screen on my IBM Monitor with no power light?

  If your IBM Monitor screen is blank and the power indicator is off, it means the monitor isn't getting power. First, ensure both the electrical outlet and the monitor are switched on. Then, check that the power cord is firmly plugged into both the outlet and the monitor's power supply unit. If the plug has a removable fuse, try replacing it. You can also try using a different power cord and a different electrical outlet. Finally, check the power connection at the back of the monitor.

  If you see a 'CHECK SIGNAL CABLE' message on your IBM Monitor while the power indicator is green, it means the monitor isn't getting a video signal. Make sure the signal cable is securely connected to your computer and that none of the pins in the cable connector are bent.

  If your IBM Monitor screen is blank but the power indicator is amber, it's likely in Power Management Standby mode. Try pressing any key on your keyboard or moving the mouse to restore operation. Also, check the Power Management software settings on your computer.
