What are the failure-prone components in a monochrome VGA monitor?

Our department was given an IBM 8507 large-screen VGA monitor.
I've been told it's "dead" (no power) but have not tried it out.

I'm pretty experienced with electronics generally but not with monitors,
and it looks as though I'll be going at this one without a schematic.
Can anyone tell me what the most failure-prone parts are, and where to
start looking for the cause of the problem?

Thanks.
