When some monitors are not plugged in to a PC, they display the message 'Power Saving Mode - Check cable connection' or something similar before going blank. If you are seeing this, your monitor cable is loose or unplugged, or could be physically broken inside at the plug. Or you could have bent pins or it could be jammed into a D-9 shell serial port connector...
