monitor won't "turn on"

Came back from dinner last night and my monitor was blank; the on-off
switch has no effect. I could understand malfunction, but not to make
any sound, etc. at all seems strange. Any ideas what this could be?
Not worth fixing unless its just a switch or something small.

Thanks
Bill

Could have powered itself into standby - have you tried pressing the on/off
button and holding it in for a minute or two?
