CTX monitor problem

I have a CTX PR711F montor and couple days ago the screen started to zap and it's been zapping more and more frequently. it makes zapping noise as the screen image jumps (enlarges and returns to normal condition). please help!!
I hope it is still under warranty. It is the flyback transformer going bad, better get it fix soon before it will take out the horizontal output transistor too.

Otherwise get a knowledgeable friend to help.
