If thermal compound got onto RAM or slot, and especially if it was a "liquid metal" type, that could cause a short. I cannot tell from that photo if there is damage to the slot. If you want to be certain about which RAM modules and slots work, the definitive way to do that is with the tests that I described.
Hello, about a few months ago, I had to remove my computer as a result of the corruption of RAM. But in fact, I couldn't understand whether the RAM or the slot was broken, but I was wondering if the slot of the laptop was broken, would it show 1/2 in Windows? When I enter the BIOS, I see the "b" slot.Also, this is the most important question I'm wondering about; When I inserted the broken RAM into both slots, the computer would not boot, but when I inserted the good RAM into the "a" slot, it worked, but when I inserted it into the "b" slot, it did not work. So you see, I don't understand whether the RAM is broken or the slot. Since I do not have RAM, I did not have a chance to try it, what do you say to this situation? Do you think there are any problems with the pins? I could take this much with the phone, unfortunately I don't have a tool In addition to this, I opened the subject elsewhere, but since no one could understand the problem, I wanted to ask here as well.[IMAGE][IMAGE] Model : Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming Thank you in advance for your help and interest.
