minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish15•7 months agoI think this photo shows the state of the mobo after the repair.
minus-square@ch00fOPlinkEnglish15•edit-27 months agoThe pin was crushed by the previous owner. I was able to remove enough plastic to expose the conductor. Then I used my 0.1mm soldering tip to solder a small jumper from the crushed pin directly to the stick of ram.
minus-square@evergreenlinkEnglish12•7 months agoI wonder how tf they managed to crush just one pin. Also, if I understand this correctly, the motherboard now uhh… features integrated ram?
minus-square@ch00fOPlinkEnglish6•7 months agoHaven’t done that yet, but it’s pin 236 on DDR3 240 pin ram which I believe is a power rail, so low risk of issues.
