The monitor may be failing. Here's some tricks I would try...
1. Verify the monitor's power cord is plugged firmly into the wall outlet and the back of the monitor.
2. Verify the monitor cable is firmly connected to the computer and the monitor.
3. Verify that you have turned the monitor power switch on.
4. If the power light on the monitor is not on, test the wall outlet (plug in a light or something you know works).
5. If the power light on the monitor is not on, try a different power cord.
6. If the power light is on and yellow or orange or flashing, but nothing displays, or the display is incorrect, borrow a monitor from a friend. If that works, your monitor probably needs replaced.
7. Also, you could try your monitor on a friend's computer. If it doesn't work, your monitor probably needs replaced. If it works properly on your friends computer, the problem may be with your computers video output port, motherboard video chip (or video card, if you have one), or drivers.
Good luck.

You could always try eBay for a trim piece like this, but a zip tie of appropriate length might do the trick as well if you are trying to secure the cable and prevent it from falling out. Otherwise, if this is part of the power supply please provide the part # you need and I can try to help you locate a replacement.
About your only hope for getting a replacement switch is to buy a "Parts Only" monitor off of EBay and carefully remove the switch. This one is tricky it's attached to the front bezel as you've likely found out. When you disassemble the monitor, lay it face down and remove the bac plastic then remove the 4 screws holding the button board on then take the rest apart. That's the safest way.
Flickering on the screen can be caused by defective hardware in the computer or by improperly installed software, but it can also be caused by interference from external devices. The following examples describe situations in which your screen could start flickering:
Screen starts flickering because of interference caused by devices which generate magnetic fields, for instance:
a TV set
a laser printer
another monitor
fluorescent lights
hidden power lines
Apart from interference, an incorrect setting in your system CMOS setup can also cause flickering. On some systems it is possible to distinguish between interlaced and non-interlaced monitors. The setup of your system should always be colour non-interlaced.
Proximity to the monitor of fans, air-conditioning units or other devices with rotating motors.
The number of devices using power from the same electrical line. Are you overloading the plug?
Monitor placed on an unstable surface.
Improper video drivers, this is a software problem, see section B
An improperly configured or a defective video card.
If the power supply is not wqrking then it is the invertor unit that has dies. Replace the monitor is the best advice- If it that recent out of warranty may be worth contacting 'viewsonic to see if they will discount you one.
