laptop how to repair laptop sodimm ram pins?

[Dan4k]

This happened when I tried to install the ram. One of my ram pin got stuck deeper into the socket than the rest .I tried using tweezers it didn't work. I tried using tape to pull up the pins by putting it on the pins and removing but no luck. Can anyone suggest me a completely heat and electrical resistant tape or tweezers for pin repair? or a way to push the ram down cuz it works fine when under pressure .The laptop I use is Lenovo idea pad 320 15kb

Have you tried cleaning it? It looks pretty dirty. You could try *gently* cleaning it with high percentage alcohol and cotton swab and then using something to pull it up. I've even used plastic toothpicks before (not that I recommend that). Also if you do clean it, make sure the alcohol is completely dry before powering on.

Then it's fine, ignore it. Those pins get pushed down anyway when you install the RAM. Clearly it's still making sufficient contact.

Does it show up in BIOS? Are you sure the stick itself is ok?

 

You should be able to pull that pin up with tweezers; it's designed to flex, so you should be able to flex it back into its original position. I also recommend cleaning all the pins with alcohol and a soft brush (toothbrush, maybe).

The RAM slot seems corroded/etched in acid?

Bend the pin back then. That's your only option.

There are none designed for that specific task. Just get some fine-tipped electronics tweezers.

yeah did get tweezers like that but they weren't the ones they couldn't hold the pin
