My monitor used to do that right before it died. A good whack on the side kept it going just a while longer. Then one day it just made a loud whine and died a glorious death. Sparks and smoke. Go for the new LCD, but warn your mom that she probably does not ever want to be in physical contact with the monitor while it is in use.
