Let me know how your prices are for memory. I know when I used them for Samsung Apple memory they where cheaper.
Also check out MSY for memory too

Who would have thought that one broken solder-joint could cause that much trouble?

Cheers mate, and as soon as I had fixed the issue, I noticed that the laptop seemed to be running a bit smoother, or it must have been just my imagination playing tricks on me, who knows?, anyway I'm happy that I fixed it.
Makes the laptop more usable for sure Doc did you check your memory prices Doc if so how did you get on.
Best wishes
Kimball
Haven't done it yet, I'll see if I can get it done tomorrow some time.
