I think your solution lies there.  With the thing running OK 
with the monitor turned off, measure the voltages on the 
cable's lines and then wire up a dummy cable (or just 
connector) to simulate the turned-off monitor.  If your lucky (I 
I suspect you will be), you'll just need to wire a pin or two to 
ground, but maybe to 5 volts.  You can probably get access 
to the "pins" with the case open somewhere between the 
real pins and the motherboard.  Good
luck.
