If you have no toher cables to try get rubbing alcohol or contact cleaner, an old tooth brush with power disconnected scrub the cable ends and all ports, briskly and completely. Look for loose or broken pins. Bad cable insulation etc.
The starting point for repair should always be the obvious elements. And this gets them out of the way if it is something more complex causing the failure. I have had many great monitors that people thought were totally wasted brought to life with a simple cleaning.
