Help! The power button on my 17" Apple monitor has suddenly started blinking in a regular pattern - like a Morse code 'u' - dot dot dash - and the monitor is distinctly darker at the bottom.

Using G4 tower, dual 1.42 Gh, OSX 10.4.6.

Does this indicate that the monitor is about to fail? Is there anything I can do about it except let it happen?

Recommend that you shut down , check all power cords are properly inserted
AND
the cable from the Monitor to your Mac is properly connected.

Start up and see what you have ...
                which could be a blank screen .

If so , borrow another good monitor to try .
If that is also blank your Mac video card could be faulty ... need a Mac doctor
