hey,
i'm looking for Crucial DDR memory and i asked that guy for some pictures of the RAM he's got. He scanned the stick with scanner and now he tells me that the stick doesn't work.
is that even possible? i mean, it's just the light...
please let me know!
Isn't it ironic that this question got more replies in chit-chat than in here?
(that'll be ironic in the Alanis Morissette sense...:) )
you right! that's why i posted it there :D
and i posted it here to increase my post count by 1, hmmmm actualy by 2:D
well in theory it shouldn't, but if the guy was trying to sell it why would he do that and then tell you it doesn't work?
the only thing I can say is if when he put the memory on the glass to get scanned that it was shocked from static electricity.
yup! okay ppl don't post over here, post @ chit-chat:D
you have a general pc forum and you post a hardware question in chit chat? now that makes all the sense in the world :rolleyes:
Sounds kind of weird if you ask me.....what do he use to take the photo:eek: He has tried to reseat the block right...
look @ chit-chat's version of that thread!:D
All l'm gonna say is Harry and myself rock;)

So that not accused of spam posting....
Quite often if memory or sound or vid starts playing up, just reseat the boards or chips. Heat leads to expansion, which can slightly unseat some boards or chips. Modern PCs with multiple fans seem to have resolved this, but over time cane still happen.
Shiz0, on a good note for your mate..we would have charged a standard hour for resolving his issue;)
sorry, yeah. I forget this forums adds to post count and I don't want to be considered a spammer :p
I personally wouldnt put memory in a scanner for fear of scratching the scanner. But I'm just weird. Memory's pretty cheap at the moment, but you gotta be careful. Bear in mind that a static shock from your bare hands can screw up components (ie touch a radiator before you start fiddling under the hood / wear one of the funny cuff things), putting stuff in a scanner is definitely going to pose a risk. Good to hear the problem wasn;t permanent.
What still has me baffled is why did he scan it in the first place, jez a memory stick just ain't that interesting.
<whisper conspiratorially>yeah, its a bit geeky innit?</whisper conspiratorially>
