monitor usb

on my monitor there is 2 usb slots on the side that were working fine with my digi camera. then i plug in my digi camera and it doesnt recognize it. then i plug the camera in to the usb ports on my comp and it works. how do i get the usb slots on my monitor to work again? thanks

What make/model monitor?

Perhaps there is a USB cable unplugged?

its a dell 1703FP

it probably has some USB cables coming out of the end of the monitor cable for the USB. Is that hooked up?
