Help identifying this A2000 display issue

Howdy,
One of my A2000s seems to be a rather dodgy repair-job. (Leaky battery rev 6.x mobo.)
Anyhoo, there is a problem with the display output.
Looks bad both from RGB output and HDMI to rgb.
hopefully link to video below works:

Edit: Link to video added again:

Some bad traces from Denise? Problem with Denise chip itself? Any other theories?

Thanx

Ok, so I figured this one out for myself, I found a replacement Denise chip, and when I removed the current one, it almost fell out by itself, so probably some pin didn't have proper contact. With the other Denise, I pushed it down properly and voila, perfect image output.

Love it when it's that simple! Does the original Denise work when properly seated?

Also, you may want to put the video link back as a reference in case someone encounters a similar problem in the future.

Sure, added a link again (now on Google Drive instead of Dropbox).
I noticed Denise that practically fell out was a Super Denise (8373) while the one I replaced it with was a 8362 R8. But it looked like the Super Denise needs some adjusting of the legs so it doesn't fall out, so no I didn't do that at this point.
