So I replaced my monitor, it works great, but the two mains input wires in the cabinet dont have a connector on them to connect to the input on the monitor(they are just exposed wire)
Right, so as a quick fix, I put the wires in the respective slots on the monitor chassis to hold them in so I could temporarily play the game. Well, while adjusting the monitor, the wires came loose and touched each other. There was a small spark from where the exposed wires touched and now nothing works.
The moniotr, jamma, speakers, nothing powers up. I am no electronics expert, can someone please tell me what I did?! ...and possibly how to fix it!

see if you can see a buss fuse and check that
-
where would i look for that?
-
Is it on the isolation transformer?
-
check the breaker in the house? its gotta be a breaker or a fuse unless you flat out killed everything.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Look for the fuse in an inline fuse holder on the AC wiring or maybe a block fuse holder.

It's a fuse... i'm about 99.9% sure of it. I've done it myself...
-
well, I found a 3A 250V fuse blown....I'm guessing thats the culprit. I will post if it worked or not. Thanks everyone for your help!
