[QUOTE="cowbrain, post: 1617270, member: 95559"] Damaged RAM slots? Unusual. Had you been inside the machine, changing RAM or some, other work. I can't imagine how this damage would occur by itself (unless it is due to corrosion or a bad connection?) Did you ask for details of this damage? Not clear about this? Are you suggesting that they may have caused the damage? Sadly, the only cheaper way of repairing this (assuming that their diagnosis is correct) is to change the motherboard yourself. It's still not cheap, because you will have to bear the cost of a replacement motherboard. The job isn't simple, but (despite its complexity), it's pretty straightforward. There are internet guides which will walk you through the process. Good luck. CB [/QUOTE]
