ok. do you see the POST info? (white writing on ablack screen)?

on the monitor menu, scroll through the options. you may have like me, a choice between analogue and digital, try changing this setting.
how old is your son, at the age where he likes to press buttons?

Try what shady said b4 mate, there may be another socket for the monitor. Try plugging the monitoe into the other socket.
