Tandy 3

It's not a newer version. My TRS-80 Model III also has 48K. It was the
top-of-the-line Model III. When I first got mine, it had been sitting in a
basement for 2 years, and the basement had been flooded when the septic
tank backed up. when I cleaned it all out, and turned it on, I had the
same problem with the screen. I gave it a good, solid whack on the back,
and it's been working fine ever since (not too hard, though - you don't
want to put a hole in the back). I think that the problem may have been
that a couple of the chips got either corroded or slightly unseated, and
smacking the back of it reseated them. That may not be your problem,
though.
