does the light show amber or green?

I useed to get this on my old work screen, its like the monitor isn't getting a signal to fire up from the PC.

try turning off, removing power supply cable from monitor, switch back on, then slap in the power supply cable. used to work for me.

Spot on, works when mine does it too!
Somtimes have to take the cable out of the graphics card too!
