It wasn't just them. I got an old Sony PVM-8044Q from an auction a year or two ago that was stuck displaying black and white on one of its inputs. Apparently a known[0] problem. I took off the case and located the general area of the PCB said to have issues and reflowed the solder of a few points with my iron. Color worked after that!
