I shut down the PC last night before I went to bed, but when I got up this morning, it in fact had not turned off - It merely said "shutting down" still, and had obviously been like that all night. I could not shut it down, so I had to press the button. However when I tried to reboot, the monitor was not working - just a black screen. I fiddled with the on-screen buttons just in case i had accidentally knocked something but nothing worked.
So, in order to make room for the laptop on my desk, I lifted the monitor up and placed it on top of my printer, and it came on momentarily. Ah, I thought, maybe a loose cable? But after having checked the cables, it still wont turn on.
