I fear that if that could kill a monitor I think I would have smoked one. I'll write that didn't kill it.
-> Look at the connector and check for a bent pin.

I just found that my youngster's friend unplugged and replugged the monitor on her computer without turning the computer off. The monitor no longer works on it. The computer has a Radeon 128 card. Is it possible that the card is bad or that the monitor is bad? I haven't tried either in another one due to fear I'll mess up more hardware.
PC powers on as does monitor but it shows in sleep mode. Can't see if video card is working or not.
Suggestions on safely testing to solve problem are appreciated.
PC is Intel 700mHz with XP SP2.
