Battery attached to the monitor plate repeatedly goes blank and shuts down the monitor during use, suggesting an electrical short
The issue occurs with multiple different batteries and persists even when the Teradek receiver is not connected via P-tap
The monitor's Hirose power connector wiring differs from standard specifications, requiring use of cables specifically designed for SmallHD equipment
A pinched or grounded power cable between the battery plate and monitor connector could cause the battery to short while in use
Damage to the power cable insulation anywhere along its length can result in a short circuit
The connection point between the battery plate and the tiny Hirose connector on the monitor requires careful cable management to avoid pinching excess cable

The user had the main board previously repaired and the monitor had been stored before the issue recurred
No definitive solution was confirmed in the thread
The specific cable model and condition were not inspected in real-time during the discussion
