TRS-80 Model IV

If you're not talking about the portables, I'd check the obvious first. Open
up the case and reseat the video cables. Check for tarnished/corroded
connectors. I haven't opened a Model 4 in years, but as I recall it's
relatively easy to pull and twist the video cables in the process, affecting
the connection.
