It is possible that it went bad, I've known it to happen. I grant you it is rare these days. Do you have another system you can test that monitor on?

Dear Friends, I have no idea what happened, but there is no picture on my Monitor. It is turned on, and gets warm like usual, my JAWS reads whatever program I go to just fine, but I have no picture. I am using XP-Home, JAWS 11, and I have a Dell System Model OptiPlex 745. All the cables and wires seem connected just fine, and as I said, the monitor even has the little signal lights on by all the buttons, of which there is only 1 I know what is for, the off / on button, which I never touch. But turning this button off and on just gives me the sound signal that it always did. Anyone have any ideas? If the monitor did not get warm like it always did, I would think it burned out, but as I said it does and so have no clue. I can use the computer, but some times I need my better half to look at things for me or she uses my computer to do things, so need a monitor that one can see! I appreciate any thoughts.
