it seems sometimes (almost randomly) my obc display (the clock and regular lcd display) totally go dead. this isnt a problem with the pixels, but i figure it's a problem with the power supply to it. sometimes the display will just flicker, sometimes it will stay on for a while and only go out for a second or two. i also noticed when i push the buttons for all my windows to go up (or anything that would cause a slight jolt in the rpms due to more electrical current needed) the obc displays will go out.

also, the clock seems to only keep time when it's display is working as well; i noticed that it is losing about 10-20 minutes a day.

i personally havent heard of this problem before. sounds like a loose wire somewhere, and i dunno where to begin. :dunno

Remove the plug and open the case and inspect the socket for any loose pins.
