I'd try fixing it before I throw it away.  Chances are, something's not 
making contact on that little PCB that connects to the tube.  I had to touch 
up some of the soldering on it on one of my monitors - the tube was 
occasionally (once or twice a day) turning off and then right back on.  Maybe 
it's something like that in your case, too.  If you don't want to fix it 
yourself, give it somebody who will.  Or read repairfaq.org and fix it 
yourself.
