Did you get a message, "...no video signal"?

If so, what kind of PSU do you have?

 

[markho]

no messages at all, usually i would see them. i think the light tube thingy needs replacement. the pc boots up fine. i have an antec psu.

well if the CCFL tube went out you should first try and have it repaired under the warranty. Not sure if Microtek covers the backlight (or who they even are for that matter) but that would be your best bet. You second best option is buy a new one.
