I didn't find a discussion on this problem, so here goes:

The 8-bit video card on my MAC-II seems to blank out every once
in a while.  It revives when I wiggle the connector at the back
of the box.  In the past, I have also opened the box up, unplugged
the card and plugged it back in.  This works for about 2 months
or so and then its back to blank-dom!  

Has anyone else seen this problem, and if so what's the solution?
My Apple one-year warranty ran out last month!

Any advice in this area will be much appreciated.
