Sadly, it sounds like the display assembly is gone.

Has anyone opened the system yet? If not you could try chuckling the cable connections. Follow this IFIXIT guide: [guide|6270|iMac Intel 21.5" EMC 2389 Display Replacement].

Be careful as the cables are on the short side! Check the vertical sync cable (Step 5) and the data cable (Step 7). The data cable can be easily damaged so use extra care. Note the direction of the connection of the connector as you don't want to put in backwards!
If the cables are fully seated then its time for a new display. You may want to think this though as the cost of the display is around $800.
