CRTs get damaged, that way, because the EHT used to drive the tube is derived from the video signals (directly or indirectly). The voltage changes with the frequency, and can go too far from tolerable. LCDs don't work that way. Their power isn't related to the incoming video signal. I'd be more inclined to believe three things: 1: You're plugging it into something that's not providing a useable signal, so you're not seeing anything. 2: Damage to the video connectors or cables. 3: Pure chance that a fault developed at the same time. It could well be that if you'd picked up the monitor, and not done anything else but move it, that a fault might have developed. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.)
