I just had one in with the same problem. I found that if you lifted the ribbon cables at the bottom where the stripe shows up I found bad solder connections on a surface mounted device. I think it is a resistor as it/they are about 1/4 inch square with only a solder connection on each end. The solder was badly cracked and it got rid of the problem. Hope this helps Roy E.
