usually when the picture is bowed, chips are going out. BUt since you can kick it and fix it at times, sounds like bad solder points. if its just soldering, then it souldnt cost anything but labor.

PussSquatch is correcrt, it just needs to have some soldering done. Specially at the convergence output ICs. These are common problems due to the heating and cooling of those chips. (STKs)
