The OP did not state whether the monitor was an LCD or a CRT. If a CRT, even if the power indicator light had failed, you might hear the power surge to start the tube. I had a really good LCD monitor fail because of the stupid, cheap power switch. I assume it is an older monitor that just might have given up the ghost just because you moved it.
