This is just a stab in the dark:  I wonder if it is a loose connection
somewhere.  I would try wiggling the power and signal  wires and see if it
has any effect.

Does anybody "repair" these new-fangled monitors or are they just a
throw-away item?

I have a Gateway flat screen monitor.  It was a year old last August.  When
I turn on the computer, the monitor keeps going blank. I turn off the
montior then turn it back on and it keeps doing that for about 15 or 20
times.  Someone said it could be my video card but I hooked up my old
monitor and it works fine.
Gateway says there is nothing they can do, it would be too expensive for me
to mail it to them.  Does anyone know what could be the problem.  It was
expensive and barely a year old.  It is a 19 inch flat screen.
