I have a PET 2001, that displayed the same garbled screen after
many years of storage..
What I did was remove the RAM chips from their sockets
and reinserted them.
I don't know if all 2001 models had plug in RAM chips, mine did however.
Anyway to my surprise the PET booted and no more garbage or errors..
Worth a try..
Phil
