http://www.eldoradogames.com/ repaired mine. $165 not including shipping. They are the only ones I know who openly entertain repairing a Vidiot. Good luck!

With 8 flashes I'm assuming you swapped out the TMS9928 video processor but didn't swap out the socket? Also assuming you checked the voltages on the board. And was there any damage to the Vidiot from a leaking battery? The problem could be masked by a bad ROM socket that was damaged from the battery:

Try reseating the ROMs first and see if that makes a difference.
