Monitor Issue

Greetings comrads. My grandfather is having some computer issues but he lives too far away from me to actually go over and help. Just thought maybe somebody might know of hand how to fix this problem or things he can try.

THE PROBLEM: The screen on the monitor is blank with one little blinking light in the upper left corner. The monitor is not the problem. I hooked it up to another computer and it worked perfect. Its something in the computer but I am unable to access it. I hooked another monitor but got the same result.

I am thinking, videocard but he is getting a blinking light. Would you still get a blinking light (unless that blinking light is the monitor factory notice that its not hooked up to anything..hmmm)

The blinking light to me says either board or hardware issue probably deeper then just the video card.
