Paperboy was working, but now the colors are mostly black after moving

This has happened a few times before when moving this around. Usually I pinch a wire or unplug and re-plug a connector and it goes back to normal. This time, I can't get it to go back to normal. I slid the cabinet maybe a foot out from the wall and now it's like this. Any ideas what is causing this? Bad connection somewhere?

Maybe. obviously push all your chips in to make sure they are seated fully, and check all your connectors and neckboard on your monitor. You might have cold solder joints on your video header pins on your monitor.

Do you have a K7000 med-res in there? If so, check to see if both wires are connected to the little board on the top of the left wall. If one comes off, it messes up brightness (and sometimes color)...
 
The main PCB on the back door is actually two pcbs that plug together, it might be worth separating them and cleaning the edge connector on the video board.
