I've already ruled out the battery being the problem, actually.

I had seen someones post about that video problem and decided to see if the battery was indeed the problem. I used a multimeter and I get a nice steady reading of 3.56, which considering the max is 3.6, tells me that the battery is doing aok.

I tested it when I originally got it as well to ensure it was fine, and I was getting the same reading, so I think that the problem is either the monitor port itself, or more likely, the monitor.

I say that because it is exhibiting other odd symptoms like color flashes and such when it turns on (green, purple, white). I wish I has another db-15 monitor around here to test it but I don't. My RGB Color Monitor for my GS uses the same D connector but it uses fewer wires and they are incompatible as far as I can tell.
