Unplug all the connections. Try wiggling the wires. Try Dad's monitor... otherwise, I dunno what to suggest.

You need to ascertain whether it's a problem in the tower or in the monitor. To do that you need to try a different monitor on your tower or a different tower on your monitor (obviously).

The LED indicates the monitor's getting power... so it is working it's just not getting a signal... you've tried the connections already...

Other than that I'd suggest an ATX Discharge- turn the PC off, hold the power button in for ten seconds, and then turn it back on. We had the same problem with some of the PCs at work (no image) and that seemed to work...
