I have had trouble with the T-chip (video processor). If you hit it with some freeze spray it will probably act up. You may also notice a sudden loss of sync when a bright flash accurs on the screen like head lights coming in direct view of the camera in the dark. I have seen this 5 or 6 6 times, maybe yours is one.
