I'd first try to swap the power supply.

And second, if the problem still remains, I'd check actually _what_
characters are seen on the screen. This can give a hint on the defect
component.

For example, if the characters are 'absolutely' random, this points to
something different than the RAMs (maybe a multiplexer, or the FPLA or
whatever). Maybe even shows _which_ multiplexer is defect. On the other
hand, if the effect is 'typical', this shows only one or two defect data
bits, e.g. one or two defect RAM chips.


Best regards,
