That's a classic symptom of a bad solder joint. They usually appear on the 
bigger joints on the analog board around the flyback transformer and the power 
connectors where cables plug in.

My theory is that the wave or reflow soldering temperature gets set for the 
delicate connectors that might be damaged with the result being imperfect 
joints on the big stuff.

But start with a simple re-seating of the connectors.
