HELP!

About a month ago, my 1084 monitor, which I've had for over 4 years, started
to go to sleep.  I had to hit it on it's right side to get it to wake up.

I knew about the problems it has with it's power supply.  So I took it apart
and examined the power supply.  I found a pin around the transformer that
wasn't soldered very well, so I proceeded to resolder it.  But my montior
continued to go to sleep.  So I took the power supply out again and reflowed
all the solders around a few large caps.

After that, it worked for a day and a half and the monitor went to sleep
again!! So now I must assume that some part is faulty.  Something that
likely sinks a lot of current and goes out after it gets hot.

Can anyone help me out on this?

Thanks
