nothing lasts forever, and monitors aint no ecception. try hooking it up to a different rig, if its still doesnt work then ya beter start diging a grave for that monitor

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.
