possible fault with the ribbon cable between cpu board and master display, or the headers for the ribon cable need cleaning,or cracked/dry solder joints on ribon cable headers if you have another ribbon cable try swaping it or try moving the plugs on the ribbon cable up and down while it is on and see if it runs properly,
My bk 2000 has the same problem, when i move the plug on the ribbon cable (cpu side) it works properley, try both ends
