Scot,
The typical problem with the SID is the connection between the ribbon cable (that runs from the LED panel to a circuit board) and the circuit board. Where the ribbon cable connects to the circuit board, you can see little lines where the connections are made. I took a razor blade and pressed a line down the middle of these little lines, thereby making the connection tighter.
It worked great for me! It takes patience, since these connection lines are small. On my first try, I got all lines back on my SID except for one vertical line that is still dark (I may have missed one of these little connection lines).
I hope that helps.
