for both crt and lcd monitors switching on will result in power loss and in crt it wont damage the monitors but in lcd its a serious problem and you haven't mentioned the type of monitor.please reply

A:

I don't recommend it. There is some valid arguments concerning heat damage (left on) vs heating and cooling damage (off when not in use), but I don't care about them.

When my nephew's monitor caught fire, he was at home(although not at the computer) and able to put the fire out. No-one in our family leaves monitors on.......

Why does the monitor did not open where is the problem?

If it has been working normally before this--no black border--then the monitor may have become unplugged from the computer. Shut down the computer. Unplug and then replug in all of the connecting wires, make sure the On button on the monitor is on. Image should be there when you turn the computer back on. If this doesn't work, try hooking the monitor up to another computer. If you have the same issue, the problem is the monitor. If not, the first computer is the problem.
