    Look at the back of the monitor where the hard wired video cable comes out. The cable has some reinforcement at the base to help with wear and tear. These will break down in time and there looks to be stress and actually a white area where the black cable has separated. This to say the least is not good and I would focus some attention in that area and see if you can get the monitor to light up!
    Video will be posted shortly . I apologies if the camera is shaky, This is the process I do every single time until it turns on.

    raiden92,
    I see some cable issue right at the back of the monitor. This monitor is hardwired into the back and it appears that the cord is exposed. Could the signal be shorting or intermittent via the break? Try tightly wrapping some electrical tape around it or better yet find another monitor and test !
    Here are images I provided for the back end of the monitor and the monitor cable.If you want more images I will be more then happy to provide.

    it's likely to be the vga cable as the power is fine and the monitor can detect the vga after reconnecting cable several times. you can try using another cable, a new one to be sure.

    The focus isn't all that great on the top left picture above. But looking at it now maybe the black plastic coating isn't worn and exposing the wire underneath? Best test will be with another monitor and see what happens.

    I already am waiting for another monitor to be delivered for testing purposes. I will get back to you asap.
