Display problem: flickering, blanking, corruption

Our MK4 is about a week old, assembled from the kit, and we've had great success with our first few prints.

After several days of flawless behavior, I find the display is sometimes blanking, flashing white and showing corrupted (partly-drawn) info. When this happens, the changes are irregular, maybe once a second on average. Other times, the display is fine for hours at a time .

The printer continues to print normally when this happens.

From my limited experience with little displays, I'm guessing that the display has a flaky power connector.

Is this a problem others have seen?

To more details:

The splash screen seems to always be fine. Sometimes the problem starts right afterwards.

When it was displaying normally, I tried gently wiggling the ribbon cable going to the display. This did not trigger any display problems.
