Just ram it back in there.

Good news first, the ram is actually where they need to go

This hurts to look at.

How hard did he have to pull on them?

indepndnt ,

I imagine to accomplish this, you would probably be trying to rotate them out rather than pulling straight up.

I think they ‘wiggled’ them out like bending it back and forth.

AgentGrimstone ,

Not that hard. The pliers did most of the work.

Imgonnatrythis ,

Just switch to virtual RAM.

My brother needed more ram for a computer I gave him, so I gave him some more and told him to put it in the extra slot on the board.

He called me and told me it wasn’t working at all now, so I went over after work.

I have absolutely no clue how, to all of my knowledge it should have been impossible.

He had put the ram in backward and managed to get the clips to lock in.

If at first it doesn’t fit, you clearly didn’t hammer hard enough

If it jams, force it. If it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway.

I managed to plug the 4pin CPU_POWER cable into two corresponding ports. As in 2 pins from one port and two from the other, since they make up an 8pin port.

Surprisingly it was working but crashing randomly every half an hour.

These ports are shaped so that this is impossible, but I managed to do it anyway.

Those connectors are keyed, but only to prevent you from installing them backwards or rotated 90 degrees, and not from doing what you did. The “tombstone” shaped pins will fit in the square holes, but not vise versa.

Offsetting it by 1 pin side to side won’t result in the loss of any smoke, because you will observe the wire colors and that all of the pins on the top edge are 12v positive and all the pins on the bottom edge are ground. You got away with what you got away with because you merely delivered insufficient current to the board, but not the wrong voltage or wrong polarity to the wrong place.

Y’all took the bait.

You can’t fix stupid.

Or it was just made for the picture… which would make your the stupid one for saying this.

Memory IS RAM!

I wonder why computer RAM fails more often than portable devices?

Mozingo ,
@Mozingo@lemmy.world avatar

Partly because people replace phones more often than computers, (to upgrade, or because the screen breaks, etc) so they stop using the device before the RAM fails. But also the RAM they use in portable devices was made specifically for the device and integrated directly into the mainboard. There’s less points of failure and compatibility is never an issue. Since desktop RAM can be replaced and upgraded, it’s not as big of a deal if it fails, you can just swap it out with a new stick. Whereas it would brick the whole device if mobile ram fails, so quality standards are much higher.

Eheran ,

Is that really so or just an assumption?

Not to mention the differences between a soldered interface with the chip directly on the main board designed to basically be permanent, versus a simple contact interface and daughter board designed to be removable, thus adding additional points of failure.

thats correct if you consider how often you can “fix” ram by simply cleaning it.

dual_sport_dork ,
@dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world avatar

Which I had to do to fix a mystery hard-reboot-without-warning issue I had just a couple of months ago. Connectors, especially dinky edge connectors on sensitive high-frequency components, are the weak point of most PC hardware.

barsoap ,

If your RAM fails then it generally does so quickly, and also if your RAM fails you probably bought some bargain-bin stuff. As a rule of thumb don’t buy DIMMs from companies which don’t produce their own chips, or are extremely reputable. And with that I don’t mean “you have heard of them”.

CowsLookLikeMaps ,

Better download some more

Gork ,

If you wouldn’t download a car, you wouldn’t download RAM.

Once you can do both, you can bet your ass I will :3

Viking_Hippie ,

I downloaded probably a handful or two of cars for GTA IV so you BET I’m going to download ALL THE RAM!
