battlezone: not sure what causes my monitor to go dark. board or monitor issue?

Edit: Pretty sure this is a monitor issue. Moved to monitor forum.


I've got a battlezone that plays for about a minute and then the v2000 goes dark but the game plays blind. It almost seems like the game overheats. I've recapped the monitor and reflowed the interconnect pins on the boards. The edge connector to the game is touchy and the AR2 gets hot on the heat sink. Voltages measure good on the board. In test mode, it sometimes gives a ram7 error but other times goes just fine.

When the monitor goes out, the red light on the deflection board blinks randomly fast. What do you guys think, board, Ar2, monitor? Something else? Thanks for the help.
