You might try taking it >to your friendly neighborhood dealer and asking him to look at it. I've fixed this problem on my mono monitor more than one. It is a power supply filter cap that goes south. It a long way from the regulator chip (other side of the board), but it's easy to see that it's gone. Just open up the monitor and go looking for a blown cap. I mean really blown. It takes a 2.2 micro farad to replace it.
