After reading over the past few posts, I think I'll do the following:
1. I'll take the machine apart and fiddle with the connector.
2. If that doesn't do the trick, I'll take a picture and see if anyone can offer insight--or if it's a display problem as LCGuy suggests (given the low quality of the displays in these computers, I'm going to guess he's right that the display is the actual problem).
3. Should the computer be faulty, I'll probably look for a 190 to use long-term--more power, probably costs about the same used these days, and uses IDE for a hard drive connector. Hopefully the screens are more reliable in the long term--I want to keep with a 680x0 but like having IDE as a bus since the hard drives are easier to find and less expensive. I'll also keep the 150 around in case I find someone selling a replacement screen or if I find a 150 with a beat-up case (I saw one on eBay yesterday and am considering getting it).
Testing will take place on Monday. I'll keep everyone posted.
