I do a full pull-apart diagnostic, test only mobo/mem/LCD/KB/Powerswitch, nothing else. I *also* request they pull the HDD and just run a quick PCdoc 6 loadtest same as what I have (I do a lot of HP, IвЂ™ve got all their tools so their shop reporduces what I find) they say вЂњnope, no other problems, just a bad HDDвЂќ. They send it back stating they could reproduce the issue and fixed it.

I use my contact, get them to repair it free of charge. I have a pretty good idea at this point it is a bad mobo.

Now it passed a HDD test when it came back since I saw it cominвЂ™ and retested. They give me an estimate for $300 for a failed HDD this is a move to blow me off.

They send it back with a bios update stating they could reproduce the issue.

Likes to slowly corrupt windows installs. I send a unit to HP fails PCDoc 6 loadtest. *looks around, puts on headphones, starts disassembling something expensive with a hammer and a screwdriver* Now the REAL question is, what are you doing with a guitar pick at work man? DonвЂ™t you REALIZE? Music leads to dancing, and dancing leads to shenanigans! And bosses donвЂ™t like shenanigans! Ok, IвЂ™m going off the deep end into cluthulian insanity, can you blame me? Or whatвЂ™ll happen is itвЂ™ll fail and heвЂ™ll forget and take it to you again, who will not also remember, and will go WTF at your own quick-e-fix. What IвЂ™m saying is guy is probably going to sell the machine to get his money out of it upon sensing it is going and buy a new one, and when the thing fails again a year down the line, the next tech is going to open the laptop up, look inside, see a guitar pick stuck in a memory slot and since most arenвЂ™t as sharp enough to understand why it is there, blow a brain gasket The permanent best solution is to get a soldering iron with a very fine tip and go to town and charge the guy for the labor, but hey, thatвЂ™s just me I can be a greedy bastard. I agree wholeheartedly that the solution is a good one I wasnвЂ™t accusing you of being a bad tech. I wouldnвЂ™t call it the best solution for fixing a faulty memory slot but in some cases it will work.Д«y the way, I didnвЂ™t charge the customer for this вЂњrepairвЂќ, he knows what is going on and how I вЂњfixedвЂќ his problem.Д¬j2600. After вЂњthe fixвЂќ I tested memory with Memtest86+ and the laptop passed the test. And it worked!Д«oth memory modules were detected properly and the laptop registered all 512MB. I thought if I close the RAM door it will press on the guitar pick/memory module and it will have the same effect as pressing on the module with my thumb. I installed both RAM modules back into the slots and then placed the guitar pick over the module in the slot B as it shown on the picture.

This guitar pick is going to fix my laptop. I noticed that the laptop start normally with the memory module installed into the faulty slot if I slightly press on the module with my thumb. If one of the slots fails youвЂ™ll have to replace the whole motherboard or use the laptop with only one working slot.Д«uying a new motherboard for this older laptop wouldnвЂ™t make any sense because itвЂ™s too expensive, but the laptop is still in a good working condition except the faulty memory slot B, so I continued playing with that trying to find the solution. The memory slot is permanently soldered on the motherboard. The laptop worked absolutely fine when both memory modules were installed into the slot A, but failed to boot with both memory modules installed into the slot B.ДЄpparently, there is nothing wrong with the memory modules and the laptop has a faulty memory slot B. I tried reseating both memory modules but it didnвЂ™t help.ДЄfter that I tried installing both memory modules in both memory slots one by one and hereвЂ™s what I found. When I started the laptop and entered the BIOS setup menu, I found that only one of the two memory modules is detected and the laptop registers only 256MB (262144KB) of RAM instead of 512MB (524288KB). The laptop had two 256MB Kingston modules installed and they were seated properly. First of all, I removed the memory cover to find out if both memory modules are installed correctly.
