Well... I learned something today. Apparently in the move, I left my cables and power cord to the monitor were left at my friend's house. He found it in a box and returned it to me Monday. My other friend had brought over his own cords to help me set up my computer originally. I didn't realize they were not mine. I hooked up the correct cables and cord today. NO PROBLEMS! I guess a word of wisdom is that with HP, cords are not interchangeable. I'm just happy my lovely monitor now works!
Thank you so much for trying to help me. I do really appreciate it.
