Sounds like a cold solder joint to me. Either a connector or part probably
doesn't have a good solder connection so I would resolder any connectors in
the signal path (they tend to go with use) and check your parts connections
carefully. Have you recently replaced any parts in the path? If so, maybe
you didn't make a good connection somewhere...blowing on solder to cool it
faster can cause these types of problems. BTW, have you tried wacking it on
the side Fonzie style to get the picture back? I could do that with my
Major Havoc until I found the solder connection causing the problem and it
added an interesting phyisical dimension to the gameplay.

Note: I am officially stealing the term Heisenbug...thank your friend for
me.
