[comp.sys.amiga] Blank screen

I am having a little problem with my A500. (1 meg, 1 disk).
Every now and then, in the middle of a game, or an edit session
or a remote login (ie no identifiably consistent software situation)
my screen goes blank. Thats it. It just wipes to the background colour.

I noticed a while back that there was a prevalent problem with loose 
chips. Unfortunately, I didn't take notes then as I didn't have Amy yet.

Could someone give me a hint as to what might be wrong? It doesnt happen
often enough to sacrifice it to a repair shop for a couple of days. If its
simple, I'll fix it myself.
