Hi Swanng, sorry i'm not experienced enough to offer any help to your Chip ram problem - it's puzzling indeed. Instead i thank you for the info regarding the Fast ram bank problem - which is exactly the problem i've had with my A4000 with rev.B mobo. When i got it the battery had just started to leak and caused some minor corrosion, hence i thought that was the reason for the failure of bank#4. (all banks were unpopulated when i got the A4k; the battery had since been removed)
Anyway, i hope to have some time to probe the bottom of the mobo later. Could you kindly elaborate how you fixed the problem please? Just get a solder gun and patch up the missing bit?
TIA. Regards, bonami.
