Gary,
	I have seen this problem many times. In years past I spent many hours 
searching for a bad solder joint. Lately I found that if I spray the 
connectors on the display board headers with DE-Oxit the error goes 
away. The problem was just oxidation on the pins of the headers between 
the two boards that make-up the display unit. The DE-Oxit can be 
purchased from All-Electronics.

	Hope that helps you,  73'S
