Good news the RAM arrived

Bad news, it appears both RAM chips have failed.

I only noticed this after replacing the first one, which i admit i found harder to do than i expected that is probably through lack of experience & confidence.
As such i cannot do the second one, i don't see an easy way for me to do it without messing something else out.

So.... is there anyone willing to help me out by doing the repair?
Bryce i know you said you could but i don't want to assume you are still willing to do so.

I have plenty of RAM as i bought 10 just in case as well as a few sockets.

If you are near Oxford I can also replace the RAM for you and save Bryce a trip to the post office

However, if you need to send it by post anyway, I would totally send it to him

Right in the middle of the Christmas rush. It should be here by February

I've just posted it...

I never even gave that a single thought, oh bugger i hope they don't lose it.

Maybe it will arrive already fixed!

Bryce · 14:28, 23 December 19

Well it arrived before Christmas and is currently languising on the healing bench. You've sent me enough parts to convert it to 128K. Do you want it converted or should I just leave it at 64K?

Bryce.

Edit: I've swapped the last RAM chip and the computer is up and running again. Your chip replacement was good, just the other RAM chip had failed too. Let me know if you want me to upgrade it to 128K while I'm here and the iron is hot.

Superb, glad to hear she still has life in her lol

yeah go for it, not sure what the advantage is really but i'm sure there is one.

Bryce · 16:39, 23 December 19

Well there are games that will only run on 128K, but you'll have to ask the others here whether it's worth it* as I'm not a gamer.

Bryce.

* Bryce officially opens a can of worms.

Your 464+ is now a 4128+. As soon as the post office opens again (Friday I think), I'll send it back.

Superb, thank so much for that, you really didn't need to do it that quickly.

Just let me know what i'm due you & i'll get it transferred to you.

Bryce · 18:30, 24 December 19

To be honest, I didn't rush it for you particularly. I have 26 computers in for repair at the moment and I'd like to get them all finished before the start of the new year. Yours was done first because I always clear the easy ones out of the way first.

Bryce.
