Help a brutha out, need some electronics expert to help troubleshoot

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

I have a Proscan 32 inch TV in the bedroom. Like clockwork, between 5 and 20 minutes after turning it on, it will lose its picture to white noise, start screeching hideously and generally fade in and out until someone goes behind and rattles the input jack, at which point it will act normal again. WTH? It is definitely a problem inside the TV, not with the video cable, and seems to do it after it has warmed up. Sometimes it will do it more than once; sometimes the picture will come back on its own and you don't need to rattle the input, but rattling the input always fixes it. Anyone? I can see some TV repair guy having it for days, charging me hundreds and returning it unfixed. I like this TV, but this has got to stop. Thanks for any help in advance.
