    HP DV6-2020SA bad ram slot?

    Got a DV6 here, just went to upgrade the ram and found the inner most slot to be faulty. The laptop won't post with anything in it (beeps to indicate no memory) but will post with ram in both slots, indicating the system isn't recognising that the first slot is even there.

    How do you test a ram slot? Is there a specific voltage on a pin that you can test for? It's an AMD CPU so I think stripping it down and swapping the processor would bring the slot back up, but I'm not sure I want to do that after how much trouble this laptop's given me!

      So it boots with both slots occupied, can you check with CPU-Z or in the BIOS that the innermost slot is not detected?

      There should be +1.8v and +0.9v supplies to the slot presuming it is DDR2. You can find the locations on the schematic. What is the part number of the motherboard.

          How Can I test PWM DM0365R?
          by chth96
          Hello
          I have power adaptor(220V/input, 12V 1.2A/output) which has symptom of fluctuating output DC voltage between 11.5V-12.2V.
          So I opened its plastic case and when switched it on, I heard constant tik tik sound from inside its PCB.
          I measured DC voltage between negative and positive pin of the largest capacitor(400v 10uf) and it was measured contant 300V.
          I also measured ESR value of all capacitors and I noticed that one of capacitor(KMG 16v 470uf), which located in the secondary side, have high ESR value(10 ohm),So I replaced it with same specification NXH capacitor....

          Trying to troubleshoot DDR4 SODIMM slot with slot tester
          by Lifeisfun
          Hi folks!
          I have some kind of memory problem on Lenovo laptop. I was initially able to install windows after several tries since the laptop did freeze in middle of those attempts.
          Eventually I discovered that it was related to moving the laptop.
          Later on it even stopped booting unless I pressed around the memory slot. (no keyboard LEDs only power button responds)
          If I remove the RAM I get the beeps that RAM is missing. Inserting the RAM there is silence and it will not boot most of the time. No picture.

          I removed the board got one of those memory slot testers...

          test active pfc power with lamp test
          by khelane
          Hello
          I have a big problem and that is that in some cases when repairing active pfc power supplies I cannot work with a test lamp. I can only get help with 5 volts standby and for starting and starting I have to work without a lamp and this way there is a possibility of parts exploding and other parts being added.
          Sometimes with a multimeter test the problems can be reduced to some extent, but I had several cases that had to be tested on and online and recently two varistors exploded. They had terrible resistance because the power supplies were over 800 watts.
          Is there a way...

          Mats / mods: detected and repaired GPU fault. Cant seem to test after!
          by chronic519
          Hello.

          GPU came in, green lines. Spent lots of time using to get the Mats / mods drive working (found on youtube).
          Found issue with a RAM block
          Replaced, green lines gone.
          Trying to test again, assuming getting the false positive. Originally had over 1K on a single bank. Now getting tosses low between banks.
          Used a good card to test and same results low errors 32+.

          I am just search for some form of command to do a full test on the GPU.
          I just ran the mats command with my good GPU and passed after roughly 40 min.
          The repaired one, ran...
