You also need to triple check all of the previous repairs with a meter to make sure you don't have any broken or bridged traces. And check all connections using the schematics.
Any now you know that it's not a bad ram chip.
Looking at Ray Carlsen's site, U17 (74ls373) can also cause a Garbled Screen.
