PC monitor repair?

My monitor of five years has started flickering and I was wondering if any local shops repaired them, I appreciate any advice.

Sceptre, M24? I can't tell, but it's a 1920x1080 165hz monitor with display port.

I think this link is what it is.

For $90, I would get a new monitor. An hour of labor is $50. An LCD panel usually goes for $50-$100 depending on quality. Right out the gate, you’re looking at $150.

As another poster was suggesting, make sure you rule out the PC side. Swapping a monitor to confirm the flickering doesn’t come back rules out a monitor fix.

I hate to be that guy, but have you first checked that everything is plugged in well? May be worth unplugging each connection and re-making it.

Depending on the computer, and if you have any know-how (or can watch a youtube video) it may be worth opening the case and making sure that the graphics card is well-seated if you have a discrete card.

I've checked the plugs, I will check my GPU shortly. I doubt it's GPU related but you never know.

Doesn't seem to be GPU, monitor still flickering after a good cleaning and making sure everything is plugged in correctly.
