Any hope for my Mitsubishi?

It's probably something pretty simple, either a cracked solder joint or a bad electrolytic capacitor. Haven't tried opening that brand but often they have hidden catches, you just have to mess with it carefully or hopefully someone else here can tell you exactly how to open it.

No one with any knowhow on getting into and servicing these please?

Terry, some monitors require a tool to unhook the case interlocks. Often can be found a slight crevice or line between the cover and body, the locks are situated in the little slots that can be seen in it. Often the swivel stand must be removed to access hidden screws. Some cases are more frustrating than others but they can all be opened with sufficient patience. Only use the TNT solution as a last resort.

Thanks, I'll take a closer look.

I've now bought a replacement 19" CRT, but it goes against the grain to dump it because of this intermittent fault. Anyway, there may even be a few bits and pieces inside to add to my 25-year hoard.
