Garbage on V240 console

Sunmanagers...

I've got a V240 server that is displaying garbage on the screen... There
is a little hint of valid characters, but for the most part it is
un-readable..

Example:

???i????te?i?o?l??for??B?T offici?l???e??????t?ori?e???er????i?
????ject?to????te???o?itori??.??A??o?e???i??t?i????te?ex?re??l??
?co??e?t?to???c??o?itori??.?????i?i???l???i??t?i?co???ter????te?
?wit?o?t???t?orit???or?i?exce??of?t?eir???t?orit????re????ject?to?
??i?ci?li??r???ctio????or??ro?ec?tio?.?
ct??r???co??ole?lo?i?:??
?

This is supposed to be the login prompt with the legal banner...

Our console guy has tried re-placing cables, moved to a different style
console server (we use
Lightwave 16 ports/48 console servers..) ttya settings(confirmed from
eeprom and via the LOM sc) are correct 9600, 8, n, 1

One google search turned up a guy who said this was fixed by calling Sun
and replacing the system board.

Short of that, is there anything else I can check?

Thanks in advance.
