I picked up a PP2 and on boot up it displays the following garbage on the screen.

Should I do the +5 power mod on this or is this some sort of ram or chip problem?

I'm new at fixing so I'm coming here first for details....

Start by checking the voltages. If those check out, then you can move on to checking other things.
 
Mine was intermittent like that. I puled all socketed chips, cleaned the pins with 600 grit, blew out the sockets, and re-seated. Next step was power point mod, but I skipped it to test. Not a problem since...
