Yes! Yes! That's exactly what's been happening the last few weeks to my
monitor, too! When I turn it on, it remains on for about 5 minutes and
then goes black. Then I hit it and it turns on again, for about 2 minutes,
and so on.
I would REALLY like some help on this (maybe more people have experienced
this problem) before I hit my monitor too hard some day :).
Maybe it's just a matter of fastening a screw or moving a wire away from the
heat?

Thanks in advance.
