Wait until the problem surfaces and see if it changes when you squeeze the frame on the left side about midway up. That's where the connector for the screen attaches. This is a common problem on 1400's, one of mine does it too. I've changed cables and it still does it occasionally. You may have to reseat the connection to fix it fully.
