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..

Subject: Pet 2001 N16 Display Problem
I have a Pet 2001 N16. When powered up, it displays a
screen full
of garbled characters. I read a message board post on
http://www.
classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctalk/2003-January/014761.html that recommended
that I replace the 2114s (from
bgmicro.com) to swap out the video
RAM. Any opinions/suggestions? Has anyone had a similar experience?
