Hello, This is my first post so i apologize if i do something i'm not supposed to.
I'll be completely honest, i have very little knowledge of vintage computers, but i really want to learn.
Anyway, i have a Tandy 1000 computer that just shows the attached picture on startup. From what I've gathered, the message has something to do with that RAM, but i have not found any information on what the random characters all around the screen are. I also will attach a picture of the board, i took the floppy drive out to show the entire board, but i do have it and i did put it back in before restarting the system after cleaning it.
As for repairs, i have quite a bit of soldering experience and i am very good with mechanical repairs in general, so that will not be a problem. As stated before, however, iv'e never worked on a vintage computer before, so i am not going to know the terminology but i am very eager to learn. Please help, and Thank you for reading!
