So I bought an Amiga branded Microvitec M1438S monitor, but it looks like it was mashed in on the left side during shipping.  I tried turning it on, but it makes a loud clicking noise, the power light goes on and off with the clicking.  I haven't plugged it into anything except the power.

Any clues on this?  Could it be a bad fuse?

Hi I had a Microvitec 1438S long ago, and I can confirm that clicking while changing resolution is a sort of "signature" for those monitors. You have to live with clicks. IIRC, while clicking the led turned from green to orange but my memory may fall. I guess your 1438s can't - for any reason - detect the frequency of the video signal and continue clicking. Try connecting it to a computer and see what happens.
