cause - improperly seated ram(the ram contacts crossed two of the DIMM contacts)
effect - dead DFI lanparty NFII 400 ultra, 512meg stick of Geil ultra series
it seems pretty isolated,the only visible damage is in the DIMM and a single mofset below the DIMMS. the melted solder also engulfed a near by resistor though, but i'm fairly sure i can clean that up.
area in question with mosfet yanked off
mosfet
dimm
i'm a first year electrical engineer(so basically i know nothing
), but i figure maybe soldering on a new mofset would at least allow me to use the other two DIMMS. there is no other visible damage, and i have a spare CPU and spare DDR400 generic ram for testing so i don't have much to loose really.
do any of you think this is a very good idea?
