Possibly the fuse blew. This would be a relatively cheap repair. Have an
electronic hobbyist friend open up the monitor and check the fuse with
an ohmmeter (with the power off, of course).

If it is anything other than the fuse, it is not worth fixing. In that
case get a new, el-cheapo monitor, and convert your old one into an
aquarium.

Good luck.
