[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1327425, member: 56379"] It's just like a lightbulb...one second they're working...and the next second (POP!) they're not working. This can be the same way with electronics...one second they're working...and the next second they're not. Bad ram slots are sort of rare...especially on a computer that's been working fine for a long time...but anything can happen. I edited my last post...so try blowing the ram slots with some canned air...and see if that helps. - Nick p.s. Regarding getting it fixed. No...not really. You would be told you need a whole new logic board...and that's going to cost a LOT more than you want to spend. It would actually cost the same or more than your MacBook is worth. [/QUOTE]
