Wonky viewfinder display

I've tried googling this but I'm having a hard time naming it, so I'm not finding anything. The display inside my viewfinder randomly 'goes out', except for the exposure meter, which shows as a series of dots but no 'bars' or numbers like would normally show. If I turn the camera off and back on, all the numbers and indicators come back. But then it may randomly go out again, leaving me with just the meter dots. This makes changing my settings impossible, as I have nothing to look at. What I'm wondering is if this is something dumb I'm doing, a known issue, or if I need to have it repaired. I have no backup camera, so I'm doing all the troubleshooting possible before taking it in.

I did some reading just because I like to learn stuff. One person reported a similar problem, and it turned out that it was a connector cable that had gone bad.

Maybe somebody else will have a clue of what else it could be.
