John,
Hopefully Bob's suggestion solves it, but a next-step strategy might be to take
a good look at solder connections. I have an Omni VI with a display board that
has had problems with solder joints. I got it used and it came with a display
board that was obviously worked on in the past. I've solved some of it's
problems by re-soldering a couple spots. But, some of the LED's on the display
are still intermittent after a couple tries on my part... I don't know any of
the history behind the work done on that board, but anyway, that may be helpful
if "exercising the connectors" doesn't do it for you.
