Have a CRT hooked up to laptop. Was working fine. Moved iit, now CRT won't come on.

Probably had a cord come loose. Pull them all out including the power cord and plug them back in securely.

There are a lot of pins in that VGA plug, make sure none of them are bent.

How old is the monitor? Most CRT displays don't like being moved much.

Moved where?
6" across the desk, or 600 miles cross country?

I suspect a loose cable.

That's some VGA cable!
