Whenever your having that problem its signal lost. You need to find some shielding to put over the video wires. Once they are shielded the video should be as good as ever.

shileding like hot glue or electrical tape or something like that?

I'm thinking something more metallaic, to keep the rf interference out. (hot glue will do nothing to stop radio waves) Maybe some kind of foil or metal box to go over the affected parts of the board.

Accually your local RadioShack should have some, to my expericance its a tube that you slid over the two wires.

so just put some foil or something metal over the board were the video out is? does it have to be grounded or does it matter and can it be touching the video out or is that what its supposed to do...sorry im a noob

It isn't connected to anything. It just reflects all interference.

Wrong. The shielding must be connected to ground.
