Possibly a gfx rom gone bad. Is it on certain screens or is it like that permanently? If it's permanent it could be something worse/harder to fix on the B board.
The poblem can be the reault of a bad pal, bad mask, bad 245, broken pin on the interconnectors, broke trace on customs, or dooms day scenario a bad custom.
I've seen something very similar on a Darkstalkers B board I had. It ended up being trace damage, as mainman mentioned. Check it over very carefully, especially around the battery and custom chips region.
