Last Friday my PS/2 30 -286 crashed. The error message it
gives on rebooting is 2401. On running the test program on
the startup disk the test reports a 2402. Error could someone
tell me what these mean. The symptoms are the color screen 
has gone black and white, and the image is obscured by "snow".
A dealer I talked said this would require a new mother board
for $595, is there any alternative. Could I replace the mother board
with a clone board, or is it possible to trade in my damaged board
as part payment on a new one.
