  Quel coincidence!  I just had this very same problem this week.  If you 
don't get it fixed, it'll get worse.  But it was a minor problem, really.  A
capacitor on the analog board went bad.  I'm not a hardware expert so I can't
name which capacitor it was, but it was a black one at the top of the analog
board towards the front of the screen if you stand the Mac upright.  I had mine
fixed in 15 minutes.
