Unplug the power connector going to the monitor then power up your game cabinet. If something happened to the monitor your game cabinet should power up and you ought to be able to trip coin switches and play game blind.

Look closely at and sniff around the flyback transformer on your monitor board. I bet that it is cooked as it sounds like from your description that it has failed.
