I understand, but I had to trash a great laptop because the soldered ram died. Never again.

If you took it to a place that does board repair place I'm sure they'd replace it for you.

In Australia there's a company called microtec engineering.

We send crane to boards and displays etc to them for repairs.

10k for a new component or 2k to freight repair and return.

And often a life saver on machines that are so old the manufacturer has discontinued parts.

We had that repaired last year by them.
