I agree wholeheartedly that the solution is a good one I wasnРІР‚в„ўt accusing you of being a bad tech. I wouldnРІР‚в„ўt call it the best solution for fixing a faulty memory slot but in some cases it will work.Р”В«y the way, I didnРІР‚в„ўt charge the customer for this РІР‚СљrepairРІР‚Сњ, he knows what is going on and how I РІР‚СљfixedРІР‚Сњ his problem.Р”В¬j2600. After РІР‚Сљthe fixРІР‚Сњ I tested memory with Memtest86+ and the laptop passed the test. And it worked!Р”В«oth memory modules were detected properly and the laptop registered all 512MB. I thought if I close the RAM door it will press on the guitar pick/memory module and it will have the same effect as pressing on the module with my thumb. I installed both RAM modules back into the slots and then placed the guitar pick over the module in the slot B as it shown on the picture. This guitar pick is going to fix my laptop. I noticed that the laptop start normally with the memory module installed into the faulty slot if I slightly press on the module with my thumb. If one of the slots fails youРІР‚в„ўll have to replace the whole motherboard or use the laptop with only one working slot.Р”В«uying a new motherboard for this older laptop wouldnРІР‚в„ўt make any sense because itРІР‚в„ўs too expensive, but the laptop is still in a good working condition except the faulty memory slot B, so I continued playing with that trying to find the solution. The memory slot is permanently soldered on the motherboard. The laptop worked absolutely fine when both memory modules were installed into the slot A, but failed to boot with both memory modules installed into the slot B.Р”Р„pparently, there is nothing wrong with the memory modules and the laptop has a faulty memory slot B. I tried reseating both memory modules but it didnРІР‚в„ўt help.Р”Р„fter that I tried installing both memory modules in both memory slots one by one and hereРІР‚в„ўs what I found. When I started the laptop and entered the BIOS setup menu, I found that only one of the two memory modules is detected and the laptop registers only 256MB (262144KB) of RAM instead of 512MB (524288KB). The laptop had two 256MB Kingston modules installed and they were seated properly. First of all, I removed the memory cover to find out if both memory modules are installed correctly.
