Why does my monitor have a black screen but the power light is blinking green?

The solution was:
- Make sure the DVI connector is securely connected.
- Unplug the power cable from the monitor.
- Press and hold the power button on the monitor for 30 seconds.
- Re-connect the power cable.
The monitor came back on at that point.

I have a ViewSonic VA912b 19" display I use as a secondary monitor. When I turn it on, the power light is green for a few seconds, and then switches to blinking green. The display stays black.
Windows thinks the monitor is on, as it shows up in the control panel as a second monitor.
If I unplug the DVI cable, it displays a "No Signal" message and the power light goes to amber, which means it went to sleep.
