Can you try the screen in another computer? I beleave the screen goes into power saveing mode when there is no input signal, thats what both my screens do.
Most cases of a monitor doing that would have something to do with the cables and ports. Ensure that your video card is mounted properly (don't do this while your computer is on), and check the plug in the back to make sure it's firmly attached. If all of this is alright, check the input ports on the back of your monitor, you may have a plug in the wrong slot or not in at all. Another attempt at solving the problem can be made by hooking the monitor up to a laptop or another computer to see if it turns on, if it does, there's something wrong with the computer itself. Anything wrong with the computer can include: An improperly mounted video card, a video card not receiving power (some cards require extra power, if you have an older card, don't worry about this), or your motherboard might have a physical issue (most likely not the case.)
When its hook up to the computer, turn on both monitor and computer.
While the monitor is turn on, disconnect the vga cable. Will this display a No Signal error?
If yes, then a problem with the mainboard of the monitor, buy a new monitor. If no, problem with the power supply section of the monitor. Replace the leaking and blown capacitors with same value.
If you turn the monitor on, is it getting power? Try hitting the menu button. If it is not getting power, check to make sure that its' plugged in and that the receptacle is in working order. If it is getting power, check to see if the cables are hooked properly to the computer. If you have another computer in the house, try hooking the monitor to another computer to rule out a problem with your computers' VGA card. if you determine that the monitor is okay, it's probably your video card. You can purchase a new video card on the internet, shipped to your home, for less than 20 bucks. installing it takes about 5 minutes as well.
Without seeing your make or model on you monitor it is difficult to give you any advice. But with that said.. If your monitor is a flat screen there is a power cord that plugs into the wall the cord is connected to a small box (power converter) out of the box is a small connector that goes into your monitor. It is small and you may have to turn you Monitor over to see exactly where it connects.
Your computer will work whether or not you have Internet service.
Monitors need power cords to function, & there is nowhere near enough power in the data cable to power the monitor. So, it sounds like the power cable got pulled out somehow and is now lying on the floor. The power cable will be a small plug like you have on a radio or other similar devices instead of the standard sized plug that older monitors have. Once you plug the power cord back in, it should be fine.
Sounds like the internal power supply is bad. The clicking as a relay in the power supply.
Try the monitor on another computer first and see if it works.
