[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1570194, member: 56379"] It was actually $0 dollars. The good SATA cable I used came with one of the "free" hard drives Best Buy installed (I actually had two of them).:) But there was quite of bit of my own time put into it...and a fair amount of stress & anxiety on my part. As I mentioned earlier...it sounds like you already have indications that there is a ram issue. While using "better" ram testing software may be nice...it's really not going to do you much good...since if "memtest" gives you the same result...there's still nothing you can do about it. I'm just being honest & realistic.:) If this was a computer that you could replace the ram in...I'm with you 100% on testing the ram further. Just about everything on an 11" MacBook Air is "fixed" onto the logic board. So basically just about ANY hardware issue will require the logic board to be replaced. All that is needed to know is the computer has a hardware issue...and most of the time...BAMM...need new logic board. Basically the only other parts are the keyboard, display, trackpad, fan, and a couple cables. So sure...verify that the ram is bad. But in the end...you're back to square one...need new logic board. Good luck,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
