BR,

Something may have crawled in it and died and is now being cooked.
 
i'll try to use hdmi output. i need to go to my friends to borrow an hdmi cable.. be right back..
 
Does the monitor have a power brick in the cord? If so, check that. If it doesn't have one, then there's a power supply in the monitor and most often, that's the part going bad.

Also check for dust buildup...

Oh yeah that will work. I one time had some road kill in front of my house and used an HDMI cable to pull it up.
 
Testing Just plugged in.. Test to play MoH...

be right back again

as other said, if its a older LCD, most have a power brick that could be replaced so if it was that then the LCD may be saved. If it works i would monitor it and would NOT leave it on while i was out of the house cause it COULD burn your house down and that would me you a sad panda
