Have you checked internally on the pc is it an IDE connection (Wide grey cable approx 50mm wide) or a SATA connection (thin flat cable approx 10mm wide) an IDE connection requires a bit of a push to get into the socket and if it has become slightly loose then the HDD light will flicker because it has power coming from the molex connector but can't read anything along the IDE cable because of no connection.
With a SATA connection the power connection is a flat black connector not the usual white molex connector and the data cable as described above usually connects to a port on the lower right of the motherboard and if there is a lack of connection here then it will cause the same issues as with an IDE cable
I would tell you to check the internal connections which are IDE (Right side half way up motherboard) and SATA (Lower right corner of motherboard) as well the connections on the back of the HDD itself
The only other suggestion i can think of is that your graphics card is not seated properly perhaps that has come loose a bit which would explain why your monitor receives no signal
this would also happen if your graphics card has been fried I'm afraid so if all your internal connections are fine my advice would be that you need a new graphics card
