So I tried to put a little bit more life into an old Core2Duo system and add some RAM I bought off ebay. Turns out they both arrived DOA (the seller just threw both sticks together, wrapped them in a small amount of bubble wrap and no static bag, and placed it all in a cardboard box which allowed the bundle to slide all over the place). I'm currently looking into returning them but the price really wasn't all that much so if I have to pay anything for shipping I'm just going to hold on to them. So.... on to the point: has anyone ever tried baking a dead stick of RAM? I know if they were killed by static there is nothing I can do besides replacing the bad I/C but maybe it's just a bad solder joint issue. I do have access to a reflow station so if I'm stick with these I will try and post back, I was just hoping to hear if anyone else has ever given it a try.
