I've repaired many a CRT monitor with the same methods you used. Little 85¢ fuse from Jaycar.

Me too pip - have found at least a 1/3 of 'dead' monitors found simply have a blown fuse and replacing this makes them work perfectly. I don't know anything else about monitors so if that doesn't do the trick, it's off to the bin for you
Although, seems the monitors that blow fuses often are cheap Taiwanese/Korean ones - better brands seem to handle power fluctuations better due to higher quality power supplies.
Also, once fixed these 15/17" monitors have a value of $20 - 50 on the streets - and not worth the time spent fixing them
Nice work, Eurosnob!
