[Gllug] My monitor just went splat !

[Pavel Bradut Boghita]

if you unplug, leave it for a while and then turn it on again what happens? 
nothing,nothing ? 
Also I assume that you cannot get the onscreen menu for the monitor either... 
or can you?
I had a similar problem with my Dell 17" monitor, luckily it happen a month 
before it's 3 year warranty expired, so Dell gave me a brand new replacement.
I would also test your graphics card with a working monitor.
