Computer monitor loses V-hold after 1 minute of use.

Hello,
I just recently moved, and it seems my monitor was a causuality.
After it is on for less than a minute it loses its verticle hold.
Anything I can check and/or replace?
Thanks,
Brian
 
Check your watch. If you are lucky, maybe the part about 1 minute is wrong.

True,
I timed it again, and it is like 15 seconds.

Given that it was just moved, I'd guess a bad solder joint or cracked
board that heats up and gets intermittent. Check the repair faq for
safety precautions before proceeding - lot of good info there.

With the back off, thoroughly check for cracked solder joints,
discolored or leaky capacitors, burn marks, etc. Use a magnifying
glass, and pay attention around the heavier, heat producing
components.

With the unit on, try gently poking the board with a stick and see if
you can recreate the problem which would definitely point to a cracked
board or solder joint.
 
make sure all the pins are sticking out right!!!
