It's an
AOC 19'' CRT 9GLR monitor. I just found that.
Yes, my tower fans come on and cd rom drives blink, the button with the light bulb adjacent to it is not lit up though, maybe that's normal. But even when my pc is off and disconnected from the monitor, i get the same thing. Don't monitors usually show "no input" for a while when there is no input? Maybe I do need it to be connected to the video card then, I'll try it. This thing has me really confused.
