I have been meaning to post this for a while, here goes finally.
  • Pada dasarnya slot memori RAM sudah menyatu dengan bagian motherboard. Jika cara-cara di atas masih belum berhasil, maka kamu harus mengganti slot memorinya. Dengan kata lain, kamu harus mengganti semua komponen yang ada di motherboard. Sebab, seperti yang sudah dijelaskan sebelumnya bahwa slot memori RAM sudah menyatu dengan bagian motherboard.

I have a lot of system building experience, and generally held the belief that bad RAM slots on motherboards are uncommon. The first one I encountered was a couple of years ago - I opened up a brand new ITX celeron board and I eventually discovered that one of the RAM slots was bad. The motherboard wouldn't boot with any RAM installed in one of the two RAM slots on the motherboard - remove RAM from that slot, and the system booted fine with RAM in the other slot only. (Of course I had been storing the board for long enough that it was out of warranty, but that's another story...) I suspected a bad solder joint or tin whisker somewhere on the bad RAM slot, but my soldering iron was misplaced a while ago, and a visual inspection of the underside of the board looked OK.

On Windows 10, when your computer starts getting slow due to memory demanding applications (such as Google Chrome, Photoshop, or Premiere Pro), understanding the number of RAM (Random Access.


I have been testing more boards than I used to over the past year, and I have found a number of other boards which have bad RAM slots, so I was wondering how many bad RAM slots others here have run into on otherwise good motherboards.
Also, has anyone ever successfully fixed a bad RAM slot, say with a solder reflow?
RamSo far, in terms of failure modes with bad RAM slots, either any RAM in that slot is not recognized and ignored, or else the system won't boot with any RAM in that slot, either locking up during POST or black screen before POST, sometimes with beeps. Any time I have had memtest rack up errors, I have eventually traced it to an actual bad stick of RAM, but has anyone else noticed bad RAM slots causing other symptoms?
On dual processor Xeon boards I have further findings:Slot

  • If the blue (primary) RAM slot in a channel is bad, that whole channel is unusable
  • If the first blue slot for a CPU is bad, that CPU socket is unusable
  • If a non-blue slot is bad, usually only that slot is bad

Does anyone else have any experiences to add?

LenovoThinkPad E14 has been released for a long time, and there is no guide on how to upgrade the memory and SSD on the Internet. Today we will show you how to upgrade the memory and M.2 SSD for your ThinkPad E14. This guide applies to all E14 models, including the Intel version and AMD version.

Before starting the upgrade work, you need to start and enter BIOS, and then disable the battery, this is also to ensure the safety of your laptop.

First, turn the laptop over and place it on the table with the back facing up. Then use a screwdriver to loosen all the visible screws, please note that the screws cannot be removed. They are fixed on the back cover.

After all the screws are loosened, use a plastic crowbar or an old card to slowly pry the back cover. The easier way is to pry it from the LCD hinge.

As you can see in this picture, there are many snaps on the back cover. There is a thermal pad on the pre-installed SSD position to assist in heat dissipation, but there is no thermal pad reserved on the extended SSD position.

This is the ThinkPad E14 cooling module. It consists of a fan and two copper tubes. For a 14-inch thin and light notebook, such a cooling module is good enough.


This is the 2242 NVME M.2 SSD from Toshiba that comes with the laptop. You can also see the reserved 2280 standard size M.2 slot in the following picture.


This notebook comes with a battery with a capacity of 45Wh. Its capacity is not high. Fortunately, the power consumption of Ryzen R5-4500U is not high, so its battery life is not short.


This is its wireless network card, it only supports WIFI5, if necessary, you can replace the wireless network card that supports WIFI6.


This reserved 2280 m.2 SSD slot can install a large capacity m.2 SSD if necessary. The silver metal plate next to it is the shield of memory.


This laptop comes with 8GB of onboard memory and an 8GB in the slot. You can replace it with a 16GB memory if necessary.
