[QUOTE="chscag, post: 936702, member: 46727"] I agree with your assessment of the problem. More than likely a bad video cable internal from the board to the monitor. The only way you're going to find out is by swapping it out. Have you tried flexing the cable and pushing down lightly on the board connection while the machine is apart? Ribbon cables are very fragile (they get brittle from heat) and will separate internally without any outward indication. I have had it happen on electronic equipment, not just computers. Regards.
