[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1647497, member: 56379"] Nope…can't do it. Max ram for Mid-2009 MacBook Pro's is 8gig. Which means a 4gig ram card in each of the two slots. If an 8gig ram card would work in one slot…then the max. ram would be 16gig (but it isn't). So you are stuck with 4gig of ram…if one ram slot is bad. If you know both of the 4gig ram cards you have now are good…and you tested them both in the "bad ram slot"…then the slot is bad. Only other thing you can do is (VERY CAREFULLY)…look at the bad ram slot…and look for any dirt, debris, or foreign matter…or bent pins. - Nick [/QUOTE]
