Check the RCA connector on the back of the monitor. I have the Color
Monitor IIe Model A2M2056 (I believe similar to yours) and while it is a
great monitor it has the world's worst RCA connector. The slightest touch
makes the screen do all sorts of unwanted stuff. I have read that you
should never twist the RCA jack when connecting or un-connecting on this
monitor.
