Default Cambridge 302 needle stops moving intermittently

If you don't want to use the flight recorder, you could open it up and
reseat the inter-board connectors (using contact cleaner sparingly). Strip
and reassembly is not difficult with care.

If you want to use the flight recorder for any claim/competition then
opening kills the electronic seal, so it needs to go to the factory (or
approved repair agent outside the US) anyway after fixing.

On the last two flights, the needle on my 302 stopped moving. Cycling
the power didn't bring the needle to life, but the everything else
continued to work: audio, slow/fast arrows, averager, MC setting, GPS.

The first flight, it began moving again after a half hour or so; on the
second flight, it didn't start working again until I tried it again
about an hour after I landed.

Is there fix for this besides sending it back to Cambridge?
