all a dark blue screen.

That means, power is on. Is monitor power light blue, or yellow/orange?
Is it connected to computer with VGA (analog), or DVI (digital) cable? Make sure, that cable is not loose on either end.
If you have DVI cable, watch monitor closely when computer turns on. Does it display "No signal" message?
Do you have another computer to try your LCD on?

monitor power is yellow

...which means, it's not getting any signal from your computer.
That's why I asked about cables? VGA, or DVI?
