In view of the relatively low cost of the replacement RAMs (if you order from your eBay source) I wouldn't risk unnecessary board damage by trying to remove the chips whole, in which case you might as well order turned pin sockets. Your choice of course Colin.

The video RAMs certainly look like prime suspects now, he says whilst keeping his fingers firmly crossed. A random character screen would be a great step forward but the READY prompt would be even better! Good luck.
