I had this problem last year where the red colour was gone from the image.... found the problem was sorted by my pushing on the tube board.
This happened again a couple of time during this year.
Now it's got cold again (It's in my garage) I've lossed the red again but pushing on the board, taking of and putting back on hasn't fixed it.
The pins look in good con so I decided to spray the Sockets for the pins in a little contact cleaner..... now I've lost the green as well lol.
Do you think it just needs a real good clean with more contact clearer as dislodging dirt has made it worse but if I spray more i can get the dirt out?
Or is spraying the socket a bad idea?


Thank you for all your help

I would have sprayed contact cleaner too, it could also be cracked / broken solder joints on the back of the board. Inspect and see if any joints need reflowing, not just on the socket but all over.
