Greetings. So my RAM stick has been broken. 3 of the chips fell out. Is there anyway to re attach them back into the stick? RAM worked well before the accident :D

I can't begin to question how you did that.

Anyways, technically yes its possible if you have special soldering equipment ment for such things that normally a professional has or are extraordinarily good with a soldering iron. Though with a soldering iron you would be soldering bits smaller than .5mm without getting the next one and would probably destroy the board while trying.

Honestly it would be a waste of your time to mess with it.

Thanks for the word 'solder'. I google it and found that there's a machine that could do this job. I'll go on searching for a service somewhere here then. Thank you

Your welcome, but please listen a moment more, take my advise and don't bother. Even if you can find a company or service that would be willing to, the chips might be broken from when they fell off. The business would probably charge more for the repair job than to buy new RAM also. So your best option is really just to buy some new ones.

I bought another stick already :D I just want to spend some time into this. It was a Ripjaws 1866, with heat spreader. When the accident happened, the heat spreader was bent and broke, so I tried to pull it out, without an idea that it was attached very firmly to the chips. Therefore when I managed to pull the heat spreader out, the chips came out too :D I found a laptop workshop that'd do this for $10. Let's see if I can still use it

lol well for future you probably had life time warranty before this. But good luck with the laptop workshop thing. I'm kinda surprised its such a cheap service. Hope things go well and you can have it working again :)

Yeah. Warranty was still on until 2016. Sadly the stamp was broken therefore voided warranty. I'm counting on luck too. Thanks, mate :D

Hey there I just swing back here to say that, it cost me only $5 for the whole thing to be reattached. And surprisingly it worked. I love Chinese miracle. Thank you again lol
