Just turned on the moniter and instead of the whoom sound of the tube coming
up I got a chirping sound and no picture. This is a monivision 30 in crt
about 2-3 years old. Am I screwed or does it sound like something either I
or a repairman can do?

Power supply or deflection failure. The power supply is trying to start
up but sensing a problem, possibly a shorted horizontal output transistor
or other overload condition.

Yes, it can be repaired by a professional. By you if you have some
experience or are willing to spend time learning.

See the monitor repair guide at the site below.
