	This is a hardware problem (as you already know). Take what I say with a 
grain of salt since I am not a hardware expert. My GS does the same 
thing. As long as the machine functions properly then it is nothing to 
worry about. If the characters stay on the screen after the boot process 
is complete then it may possibly be a matter of a chip needing to be 
replaced. If the computer does not function properly then it sounds like 
more work than most people want to go through to fix it. It would be 
more time effective (and better on your wallet) to pick up a cheap //e 
or GS. If you were in Winnipeg I could direct you to a company who has 
more than a dozen //es and two dozen GSs sitting in a shipping container.
