This problem has stopped with no known reason
If you don't use your mind someone else will.

I have had a lot of encounters with this type of problems in the past and it is an intermittent problem associated with a bad solder, and or a loose contact on connectors sometimes it just stopped, but by the time it comes back it is an oddball of a problem so better clean your soldering iron and use a lens viewer and start re soldering those bad solder in the monitor. Good day

It came back just a smidgen, after my last post, then stopped again.
I'd bettet get a new soldering iron as my gun is not working well and too big for that work. If I can tackle fixing my monitor soldering, maybe i can apply to Apple or some retailer for a new job. Used to love working with wiring and solder.

Thanks junt!

Yep! or better yet get a freelance retailer to get you as Tech guy because theirs lots of bad or crystalized solder in those boards and can lead to an oddball of problems if not diagnose early, Good luck.
