Just the other day my monochrome SM124 monitor on my 1040 ST started
waking up flakily!  Upon turning on my system the monitor would
present a shaky screen during boot which would last a few minutes and
then go away.  The shakiness was most visible around the edges.  Is
some part giving signs that it's wearing out?  My monitor is not
anymore under guarantee so any information that I could look at (I'm
not a specialist, but my friends ...) would be appreciated.

Even more astounding, these last 2 days the problem seems
auto-magically to have disappeared.  So what's up?

As an aside, when I turn on my monitor I have these faint diagonal
scan lines on my screen (what's the proper name for these lines?).
They get fainter after awhile but never go entirely away.  (They are
faint enough so as not to interfere too seriously.)  Anybody know what
to do here?
