Hi,
I have had mine since 1990, I find not turning it on works great. Makes it last a long long long time.
Hey just joking, don't know what to tell you on this one, the 1084 monitors were a problem, some would last forever, and some ( like the ones I bought) would last for 5 minutes after you turn it on, the one I am using now, works only if you slap it on the side about 10 times, then it turns on and stays on until you turn it back off, then slap it another 10 times it will come back on. Have had it apart about 3 times and can not find a problem, probably a cold solder joint. Has driven me crazy for five years now. One day I will find it.
