Posted September 28, 2014 I have an old laptop that I'm upgrading its a dell inspiron 1501 ..I changed the cpu Hard drive and lastly ram which I bought second hand on kijiji....well one stick was not working. I tried everything...after a nights sleep I thought of reflowing the solder like people do with gpu's and what do you know it worked stuck that sucker in the oven at 385 for ten minutes I even used a spatchula on it to make sure chips were contacting .. can you say L M F A O so this old laptop is kicking 1980 butt right now . to be honest I baked it three times the third time i did press down on chips to make sure they were contacting.
