Video idea?

[mutedcurmudgeon]

Not sure if there is a real place to post this, so I apologize in advance, I just think this might be a cool idea for a project video for LTT. 

 

I love your more technical/experimental laid-back videos, like the SD card SSD, so I'm always thinking of ideas for new ones for y'all. 

 

A earlier this week I saw this video. 

The YouTuber attempts (and succeeds) at desoldering and then resoldering a nand-flash chip off of their iPhone's logic board. This got me thinking. I always remember when I buy smaller size RAM sticks they usually have extra places one the other side to put more chips. What if someone attempted to solder on more RAM? It's very hit or miss and I haven't been able to find any real information on it, but I thought it sounded kinda interesting and thought I'd share.

An iphone with more than 3 GB of Ram?!? 10/10 the iphone bricks itself.

i think OP means soldering more chips on regular PC DIMMS.

it should be doable, given the PCB has traces connecting all the solder points for the new chips. tough i bet you'd need to use pretty simmilar chips to the ones already on the DIMM.

oh i see. i missunderstood due to the reference with Strange Parts. you might be able to replace the chips that are allready there though.

Its clickbaited video to get people to watch it, then with the silly faces on the thumbnail.
