[Ham-Computers] Video Intermittent in Toshiba Tecra TE2100

[KD7JYK DM09]

I have tightened those tiny contacts by using a small straightpin and
pressing it gently between the contact and the plastic body, pushing them
inwards so that the connection is tighter.  I gained eleven more usable
years out of my Toshiba Satelilte Pro 430 that way.

: Well, I have definitely isolated the problem in
: the Toshiba to the multi-pin connector.
:
: When powered-up rocking the connector a little --
: even though it is properly seated -- causes the
: intermittent.
:
: So, it is:
:
: 1.  Dirty contacts (I tried contact cleaner, no joy.)
:
: 2.  A problem with a pin inside the connector.
:
: 3.  A problem with the connector on the board.
