Never seen one with faulty electronics, luckily they only suffered of keyboard mechanical problems.
I/O magazines were the main source of schematics back then; but sadly, if the PC-6001 was ever covered in the mag, seems that the issue has not been preserved (last months of '81, first ones from '82). If some schematics surfaced, they could be of great help!
Indeed the RAM could be very prone to faults, the 4116 are specially weak against power faults...
Can't remeber if there're socketed ICs; but after checking the power is right, your best bet is to try some swapping with your good working machine
