No Video on Bootup

I have a Dell Dimension 4100 with Windows Me as the OS. Upon bootup the monitor does not display anything, it seems to be ok though, since when I disconnect it I get the RGB onscreen error. When I click the power up button on the pc the green light on the swithch is not on (it always lit previously). The pc is not showing signs of Hard drive malfunction, no beeps, whirrs, clicking etc., the little hard drive still lights up during bootup and goes out, indicating HD access. I had opened the unit to clean and vacum the dust out. I thought I was fairly careful. I suspected the video card and re-seated it with no succes, I've yet to replace it though . Could it be the power source or the power switch (unusual that it no longer lights up)? Can someone please provide some insight, thanks.
