Have you tried connecting it to another computer to see if it's a monitor problem or a computer problem?
Turn the plug switch on... Or
Clean your monitor with a clean duster ;)
yes, and the computer is fine. the old monitor works, what could it be now?

he will probably end up taking it back. its still under warrenty. i was just wondering if it was something little or stupid we could do to fix it. didn't want to take it back and them say oh well you just had to change this or press this. and we have to drive over an hour to take it back. thanks alot for the help
Instead of testing by connecting another monitor to the PC try connecting the monitor to another PC. The refresh rate or resolution settings could be wrong for that monitor.
The moniter USED to work perfectly fine, then just one day, it stopped working apparantly
their should be a combination of buttons or a menu option to recall the settings back to factory default, try doing that and see if the brightness comes back.
Also, check the monitor cable to make sure their are no bent pins and that it isnt bent or anything like that.
