can you swap out the monitor?
Did you hear more than 1 POST beep or any?

Monitor flickers on, then nothing, my first attempt I heard a strange noise from the case that I thought was the hard drive trying to spin, though I wasn't sure. My 3 year old broke my DVD drive like a year ago so that could have been the noise, not sure. Opened the case, fans were spining though not really how I thought they did. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting things no apparent change.
