I have an old 486 that I keep around for toying with (runs Debian GNU/Linux). For the past year (or so) it has had a "wobbly" picture on the screen. Recently (last few months) the picture cuts out for a split second. My guess is a short in the video. I'm pretty sure it's not the monitor or cable (have used it on other systems fine). Anyway the cut out is becoming more frequent. I would imagine I only have a few more moths until it goes completely. If this is the problem, what would be the best way of fix it? FYI the video is integrated on the motherboard, so simply replacing it won't work. :( Or is the sucker toast?
