Have you ever encountered memory errors? When a memory module fails, the behavior of a computer system may be unpredictable. A best case scenario would be a blue screen (if you are using Windows) and a memory test telling you that you should check your system memory thoroughly. Modern memory modules are quite complex with large BGA memory chips, but with older technologies like EDO SIMM memory modules, we can replace memory chips without the requirement for specialized equipment - and maybe learn something along the way!
In todays video, I have a non-working 32MB EDO memory module. I tried to figure out which chip is failing, but I am afraid I will need your help! I am sorry if this video is quite technical, but maybe someone will be able to solve this puzzle! And if not, you can try your luck and guess which one of the 16 chips is faulty!
