Monitor question

[Treeskier]

I just moved my computer to another room. I don't believe anything was
mishandled. My Gateway 2000 CrystalScan 700 monitor isn't receiving any
power. No power light or test bars...nothing! I'm assuming something
broke/came loose? Does anyone have an idea where I should look for this
power interruption? I know it's a 7 year old analog monitor, but it's clear
and crisp and was working fine a few hours ago!
Thank You for any assistance...

Hi
Monitos do not like being moved but try starting at the
begining have you put the cables back in the right
sockets and the right way round?
have you switch it on both at the wall and the monitor?
has the fuse gone in the plug?

Hi!
Check the cable/power supply.Attach it to another PC and
retry.

Cables are correct. I've switched the pc cable and the monitor cable back
and forth and still the monitor has no power. No fuse on the cord.

You have plugged a lamp into the wall outlet (of course) to see if IT works!
Plug the monitor directly into the wall outlet.

I am unfamiliar with that particular monitor but wonder if it has a circuit
breaker that got tripped in the moving process. Look in the back for a
button that's popped out. If there is such, have monitor unplugged, push it
back in, re-plug and try again.

A few points:

I assume the monitor hasn't got any loudspeakers? Working?

If not, bring a transistor radio close to the monitor to listen for any
audio interference. If it does, it would mean that the CRT is energized but
fails to discharge, i.e. the machine is receiving power.

If not, focus on the external connections only. Don't open the monitor
yourself unless you have training in servicing monitors. Even a freshly,
unplugged machine can kill if the wrong component is touched inadvertently
(high energy stored up in the capacitors). The colour tube when working is
powered at 20 000Volts or higher.
