Ram testing / surface mount soldering at SS?
I've got a laptop ram card with some bad ram on it I'd like to fix up next weeked. I got some standard 30 pin SIMMs with the same type of chip. I don't have any systems which use 30 pin SIMMs, so no way to test them. Does someone have a way to test these rams, and / or help me do the surface mount soldering to move them onto the laptop's card? Thanks! -- Jason Perkins 313 355 0085

Did you get what you needed on this? I don't have anyway to test the rams but can bring a hot air station if you wish.
Alex might be bringing something? If you could bring your tool too, I’d appreciate it! On Sat, Feb 15, 2020 at 12:42 AM Ethan O'Toole via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Would Chip Quik do a better job?

I can bring a machine that takes 30 pin RAM, to test with. I have a dedicated RAM checker, but I’m not sure where it is. - Alex On Sat, Feb 15, 2020 at 07:23 Jason Perkins via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

I'd recommend Innoventions SIMCHECK. You can find them for under $100 if you do a saved search. And also find DIP and other adapters. Can also do SRAMs with the right module. Well worth the money for the kit. Henry S.

That's what I have: SIMCHECK II Plus - Alex On Sun, Feb 16, 2020 at 10:34 PM Henry S. Courbis <info@reactivemicro.com> wrote:

SIMCHECK II Plus is decent for SIMMs. Probably even "the standard". The original is better IMHO cause you can use modules to test individual and groups of DRAM ICs and SRAMs too. But of course depends on what you do more. If only testing SIMMs, the SIMCHECK II Plus is perfect and does higher ends modules than the SIMCHECK can. I have and use both from time to time. Since I'm mostly team Apple II I use the SIMCHECK with adapters more. But both are good kit and well worth the investment if you can find them at decent prices. What's there on eBay right now is just sellers fishing. Don't feed them please. Henry S.

If eBay is wrong (of course it is wrong!), what is a fair price for this type of thing? On Tue, Feb 18, 2020 at 8:44 AM Alexander Jacocks via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
