    My brother needed more ram for a computer I gave him, so I gave him some more and told him to put it in the extra slot on the board.

    He called me and told me it wasn’t working at all now, so I went over after work.

    I have absolutely no clue how, to all of my knowledge it should have been impossible.

    He had put the ram in backward and managed to get the clips to lock in.

      Something I’ve realised is that a lot of people when starting a task they’ve never done, don’t realise that fact and attempt to start and finish it all in one go anyways, rather than before starting realising you have no expertise and searching the web for “How to do: X” for more complex tasks this can be unsuccessful, but for simple tasks like installing computer parts people just wing it first time for some reason. 🤷‍♂️

        Listen, I figured out how to do this at age 10 in 1994 before Google existed. It’s not fucking hard, OP must have been hammering those square pegs into round holes too. Some people just don’t have any common sense or problem solving capability.

      If at first it doesn’t fit, you clearly didn’t hammer hard enough

        If it jams, force it. If it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway.

      If you wouldn’t download a car, you wouldn’t download RAM.

      I wonder why computer RAM fails more often than portable devices?

      • Mozingo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Partly because people replace phones more often than computers. But also the RAM they use in portable devices was made specifically for the device and integrated directly into the mainboard. There’s less points of failure and compatibility is never an issue. Since desktop RAM can be replaced and upgraded, it’s not as big of a deal if it fails, you can just swap it out with a new stick. Whereas it would brick the whole device if mobile ram fails, so quality standards are much higher.

        If your RAM fails then it generally does so quickly, and also if your RAM fails you probably bought some bargain-bin stuff. As a rule of thumb don’t buy DIMMs from companies which don’t produce their own chips, or are extremely reputable. And with that I don’t mean “you have heard of them”.

    How hard did he have to pull on them?

      Not that hard. The pliers did most of the work.

    • indepndnt@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I imagine to accomplish this, you would probably be trying to rotate them out rather than pulling straight up.
