I had this problem on a 1084 monitor, but after the snap the picture
stayed off and to get the picture back I had to hit the side of the
monitor case.  I took it in to get repaired and they said it was dry
joints due to expansion and contraction of the motherboard etc due
to movement.  The monitor now seems fine.
