gateway fpd1930 monitor flashes on then off, then stays off till I turn it off then on again. Then it just flashes on for another 1/2 second, then goes black again. Is the monitor fixable?

I'm getting a similar problem with an old NEC MultiSync LCD1500M (from 2002). Hitting it on a certain part of the back side (right by the power cable entry) worked for a while for me, but sometimes the flickering sounds like an old CRT TV. I'm guessing either a loose cable on the inside, a short-circuit, or too much dust is in the monitor, causing issues. I have a dual screen monitor setup.

I have tried blasting compressed air (the one in cans) in the power cable and video cable ends, and it doesn't really work.

I have also tried vacuuming it. not much luck.

Seriously though, if the desktop is visible for a brief second, there must be something minor. The cables are tight, the light stays ON even when the screen goes black.

I am not sure if I need to buy a rubber hammer or a gas powered leaf blower to fix my problem. I am not Fonzie, so I can't just give it a love tap.

If the tech community can't see a fix to this, I'll just opt for a sledge hammer.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
