guy who was my mentor when i started to work said this, get a piece of newspaper and rub it... why? to clean it, but they say that damages connectors?
i've been doing it for 10 yrs, still workin,
And yes,as i saw during my 3 work yrs, when someone comes to shop with broken memmory banks, 99% time they just need good scrubbing...
So ill repeat myself, just let computer unpluged for 5 mins, touch back side to ground yourself, and start digging cpu guts!
And one warning, what ever u do, dont touch top of theese(metalic exposed top)
