....indeed...

Visible in black levels and appearing after let's say 15...20min and disappear after 45min (or a slight knock on the rear panels but than they might re-appear after some time)

So...I took out the boards including the moome HDMI and cleaned all the connectors including the 3 internal RGB cable/connectors that are stuck on the board...

Guess what...didn't help

Crying or Very sad

After about an hour of operation the problem is not there anymore...so I expect it to be thermal ..

Does anyone have a clue where to start solving this?

Regards,

Arno

Hello

Swap the red and blue mini cables coming off the top of the VIM. If blue persists it could be a neckboard issue.

make sure the 2 big black wires that go the neck-board are making a good connection. Clean with de-oxit and make sure they are tight, not loose and wiggling. There carry a lot of static from the tube bell and will cause the noise your describing. Also bend the 2 tabs back towards you with needle noise pliers. This a VDC tech bulletin to reduce noise from the wires. Make sure the card is well supported so you don't stress the tube pins or take card off tube
