Hence the reason for the plastic straw... :-) Do NOT touch the CRT, obviously. Instead, rub the straw on the back side of the analog board. Doing it on the front side of the board would not be a good idea.
Most likely, since hitting the side of the machine causes it to boot, it's not a bad solder joint, but a loose plug for the power supply. Might be the one that goes from the analog board to the motherboard. -J >Ah, ***DISCLAIMER*** YOU COULD DIE! LOL, seriously though this is a "live" >procedure, so obvious precautions are required.
