Why is my monitor flashing instead of turning on fully?

Okay y'all I need some computer help. I've got a 15in flat panel dell monitor. It's never been dropped or anything spilled on it. The last week or so whenever I go to turn my monitor on it won't turn on fully; the screen and the light by the power button just begin to flash on and off every second or so. For a few days I tried unplugging it and replugging it or wiggling the power cord and it would power back on. Now that's getting harder to do. Now I have to wiggle the cord and unplug several times for several minutes and sometimes it still won't come on and I just give up and try later. I plan to try a new power cord to see if that works. Does that sound right or does it sound like the monitor is dying? I sure as heck can't afford a new one. Thanks in advance!
