    You say you've tried it on different computers? Initially I'd expect it to be a graphics card problem, but i guess not...

    Blinking usually (always?) means it's not receiving any signals, or the signal is messed up. Check the connections. See if the cable is busted, or if a pin on the connector is missing or whatnot.

    It sounds like your monitor has bit the dust.

    it means collecting dust is about all it is good for anymore. from what you are describing it sounds like the component that handles the power in the monitor has gone bad.
