Repairing Faulty Ram

Question

My 4gb ddr3 ram just failed (i checked it with memtest and memory diagnostics) nd had to replace it with new ddr3 ram. I replaced my old ram with new one and now my pc works perfectly fine. my question is that is there a way to reset or fix my fault ram so that i can connect it again and use 8gb of ram instead of 4 gb without spending more money.

Thanks for any replies in advance!

Answer 1

Tom's Hardware forums says that you can fix it by rubbing the faulty stick with a cloth, then insert it back, and test the sticks with Memtest86. And another forum says that you can bake the stick! (instructions here: https://community.spiceworks.com/how\_to/126997-repair-dead-ram-sticks). I don't know if baking it will seriously work.

Answer 2

why didn't you just buy 4x2 sticks of ddr3 4GB's = to 8GB's when you had to replace the broken one

you need to know what chips you need for the broken ddr3 ram stick

on newegg there are ram that starts from $32.47 & up CAD

Hello, I'm independent advisor A&K. I'm glad to be able to help you.

If it is physically damaged, it may require professional repairs to fix it. In most cases this can be repaired because the chip above can be replaced.
