Q: Macintosh 512k Screen Doesn't Turn On

Hello apple support community, i was hoping you can help me resolve a problem.

 

I have a older Macintosh 512k Enhanced. About a year ago now, the screen starting giving problems. For example, the screen would shut off during use (after booting from floppy) then i would tap the side of the case slightly and the screen would come back on. Then one day the screen wouldn't come back on, except for once, when i moved it to another desk, it worked, but then soon again stopped turning on. I can still switch it on, it makes the startup beep, then it sounds like normal, waiting for a floppy to be booted from, but the screen never comes on. I tried adjusting the contrast wheel, it doesn't help.

 

I think maybe it could be just a loose wire? What do you think? It's been in the family since the purchase of it, and has always been taken good care of.

Any Help is Appreciated.
