+1 for the power supply.

The monitor and marquee light are normally powered separately (most likely 110vAC in your case) and it sounds like those are both are working.

Check the 5/12vDC output from your PSU. If you get nothing then check the AC input to your PSU. If you get no input then it may just be a fuse.
