17in CRT Studio Display (Blue & White)-blinking power button

I have an Apple 17in Studio Display (CRT-Blue and White vintage) connected to my Power Mac G5.

Last night, I went home, and turned it on..or rather tried to turn it on but found it stayed black, with the power button blinking green->amber->green->amber etc.

As far as the computer was concerned, the monitor was still there and working (dual monitors...the mac kept the b&w as if it was turned on).

I swapped the monitors to the different video ports and the other monitor worked fine, so it's not the video card or vga->digital adapters.

I unplugged the monitor and replugged it, and it stayed with the blinking light.

Restarting the computer with the monitor attached had the computer still running as if the monitor was working just fine, so it seems to be getting what ever kind of feedback the mac gets to let it know a video card is there.

Anyone have any idea what could be up?

Dual 2Ghz G5; B&W 400 Mhz G3, Mac OS X (10.4.1)
