RAM Slot Not Working for Macbook 2009 - Looking for Alternatives

Tested RAM slots and found that the second slot (slot closest to interior of computer) is not working properly. Switched both 4gb cards in back slot and the computer would not start up, only would beep....definitely not faulty RAM cards because they both work in the first slot.
I've researched this on forums briefly, the consensus seems to be logic board replacement.
I really don't want to invest more money into this older computer - Macbook Pro mid-2009.
Are there any other troubleshooting options here? I don't think it's the OS and do not have any Time Machine data set up before Mac X nor do I have an partitions set up on an external.
The computer is not terribly slow but when using Final Cut Pro X it tends to lag. All of the specs for my computer fall in the recommendations for using with FC10
Could I get an 8gb RAM card for slot 1?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Does not look like it supports 16 GBs of RAM meaning only 4 GBs/slot.

  • MSI-7125 K8N neo4f ram slots not working

    I have had this motherboard for a little over a year and a few days ago I was on the internet got up for a minute came back and the display was black, I reset the computer and it wouldn't come back on so I disconnected the power cable opened the case and started looking around and couldn't see any physical problems with the board so I took the Video card out, then the ram disconnected the hard drives and optical drives I cleared the CMOS by taking out the battery and leaving it disconnected for 20 minutes,after that time I reinstalled all the components and pushed the power button you could hear it botting up the hard drives and optical drives all the fans were running but no display, So I thought to myself check the ram I started trying different ram slots and there it is the only slot that would work with a single stick of ram was slot #2(purple) and the only slots that would work for 2 sticks were both of the purple slots, I had read the manual and this was very strange considering it say's not to install ram into the purple slots while the green ones were not in use, I am not sure why this just started with no warning I have always use the first 2 slots since I purchased this and never had a problem with this motherboard except for my North bridge fan starting to slow down I replaced it before it quit working other than that I haven't done anything else to it. I would extremely appreciate it if someone could help me out with this problem sorry for such a long post.

    Well I've been working on computer's professionally(for place I worked) and privately tried supplemented my income for a while, and most of the problems I seen was either memory related or OS related, I know it wasn't my OS been running fine for a month or so after re-format and just figured it had to be ram related and started checking it out and I was correct . Although I never seen this problem before and that it is aggravating( I just received an email from MSI) and it said I was at the end of my 3 year warranty and that it will cost me $45 bux for them to check it out. I just bought this last year dont see how that is possible. I guess I'll try to redo BIOS to 5.2 and see what happens.

  • Ram slots not working after CMOS reset

    Im using MSI K9N Neo V2 mb, and it was doing fine until i reseted CMOS. Now 3 out of 4 ram slots are not recognized by BIOS nor Windows. Im sure that ram memory is ok, cause ive checked all of it by replacing it between ram slots, and they're only working in slot nr 4.
    I know that the MB is old, but everything was working fine, and suddenly went wrong after CMOS reset
    Things i did to fix:
    Updated BIOS
    Msconfig memory uncheck box
    Cleared CMOS with jumper
    Replaced CMOS BAT
    Checked if smth's wrong with cpu
    Cleared RAM slots with rubbing alcohol
    System wont even boot without memory in DIMM 4 (ram slot 4), and BIOS only recognizes memory in DIMM 4
    This is really frustrating, because there is no reason for smth to not work all of a sudden
    Any help? Tnx

    There is a known issue with Powerbooks with the lower memory slot failing, and it sounds like yours may be starting to fail. At one point there was an Apple recall for a small sliver of Powerbook systems to fix that.
    The alternatives are to run with 1GB in the upper slot, try one of the internet vendors that say they can fix that (check references), or install a used logic board. I don't believe Apple is repairing Powerbooks anymore, so if you want to buy a used logic board, you'll need to install it yourself, or perhaps an Apple Authorized Service Provider would be willing to do the work.

  • RAM slot not working

    Hey everyone,
    I recently bought some RAM for my Mac Book Pro. It came with 1gb, and I bought two 1gb sticks. I put in both sticks of new RAM and my computer would come on but the screen would remain blank. After doing some tests, I found that the lower RAM tray was not working with the old or new RAM stick, and that the upper tray worked with the new and old one. Has this happened to anyone, or anyone have any suggestions on fixes? I tried canned air and it hasn't helped. Currently, I am using the new RAM stick in the upper tray, but would obviously like to take advantage of the lower tray as well.
    Thanks!

    Sounds like bad news, I'm afraid, Davide. It is likely that the slot itself is damaged. I have seen situations where RAM "reappeared" in the past after an SMC or PRAM reset, but I doubt this is your problem here. Still worth trying, I guess.
    Run the Apple Hardware test (on one of the DVDs that originally came with your computer) too, but I suspect it will either need a motherboard repair or replacement.

  • Gaming 5 ram slots not working

    Hi I have tried both individually in each slot, as soon as I use 3 or 4 PC doesn't post. The debug error 03 is displayed on the mobo. No I don't have other ram to try. As I say it works I. 1 and 2 .

  • RAM slots not working (lower)

    Hi folks - I had a problem with my PowerBook running very slowly. Helpful friends suggested increasing the RAM. When I set about doing this I found that there were two 256 Mb cards in the machine.
    I replaced them both with 1 Gb cards and the Mac was back to a speedy machine. Not long after thanking my friends, I got a 'fatal message' telling me I must restart the machine. When I did this there was no 'sueme' sound and I was back to only 1 Gb of RAM. The lower slot was empty according to the system profiler.
    I went to bed dejected!
    This morning I removed both 1 Gb cards put back the 256 Mb cards and the machine booted up as usual with 512 Mb of RAM.
    So I have put back the 1 Gb cards and have a 2 Gb machine again.
    Does anyone know what went wrong? Will it happen again? Do I need to have the machine looked at by a specialist?
    Thank you in anticipation

  • Need Help...bottom ram slot not working MBP

    I have a mid 2009 MBP, i upgraded the ram to 4gb per slot a couple years ago. I did some troubleshooting and found the bottom slot is now inoperable...
    3 questions:
    1. Any tricks to get that bottom slot working, besides loosening the screws, or using an eraser and then a lead pencil on the connection prongs... which was suggested in ohter threads.
    2. Can i use one 8gb ram in the one operable slot?
    3. Where can i find a replacement part for this problem?
    Any info would be greatly appreciated!

    !.  No other suggestions to offer.  Bring the MBP in for a free evaluation at an Apple store genius bar.  If it is a simple repair, they may do it gratis.
    2.  Yes.
    3.  Try iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com.  They have parts, prices and instructions.
    Ciao.

  • HELP!! NO AIRPORT, SOUND, USB, RAM SLOT NOT WORKING

    A couple of days ago i opened up up my 06 macbook pro. i opened it up to clean the airvents bc the laptop was getting crazy hot.so I cleaned out all of the dust and when i put everything back together, it wouldnt boot. i got a black screen and the hd light was on (not blinking, solid). so i took out one of the memory sticks and it booted. but now that it booted it says i have "no built in output" "no airport card installed" and one of my usb ports isnt working and i was thinking maybe something wasnt connected to the LB but i went backed and triple checked adn all of the connections seem fine but idk. could it be possible that the logic board might have shorted out while i left it on the chair when i took it apart?? or it just might be a connection that i might have forgotten?? please help me as i dont have money to buy a new laptop. on the bright side the MBP doesnt get hot anymore.
    thanks to anyone who helps me
    also watching videos on safari was a problem, and i switched to chrome and it fixed it right up, but all of these problems happened at the same time. (not sure if relevant)
    p.s i already tried a smc and pram reset

    might be a connection that i might have forgotten??
    It's possible.  However, you already stated that you "triple checked."  No harm in checking again incase you blinked too fast the 3 go-arounds.
    Check out KB Articles:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1367 Troubleshooting when your computer won't turn on and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1365  Intel-Based Apple Portables: Troubleshooting a computer that will not power on
    Another option would be to take your MBP to you local Apple Store or an AASP for a FREE diagnostic test.  This way you will know exactly what is wrong & how to fix since it appears you know your way around the guts of a MBP.

  • 1.25 GHz Lower Ram Slot not working

    I've got a 15" G4 1.25GHz. When I went to upgrade my RAM (I use Samsung) I noticed my lower slot is dead. I don't know how long it's been that way. I see others who've posted the same issue, and all mention that Apple knows about it and has documentation on it. Can someone point me to that? I've had this thing 3 years and had to replace the battery twice and the power adapter 3 times. Now this...not too impressive.

  • 27" iMac (refurb, June 2011) not working as an external display for my MacBook Pro.

    I just got a 27" iMac (refurb, June 2011) and it's not working as an external display for my MacBook Pro (not Thunderbolt).  Any idea why?  Command+F2 does nothing.  I am connecting via Belkin Minidisplay Port-to-Minidisplay Port adapter.
    Any help is appreciated...thanks!

    Currently the ThunderBolt iMacs can only be used as an external display by other ThunderBolt Macs.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Thunderbolt/10.6/en/30822.html
    Apple is very clear about that.
    2009 and 2010 27" iMac with a Mini DisplayPort can be used by other Macs with a MDP-to-MDP cable.

    Starting your Mac in "Safe Mode" (see below) will load only Apple-provided kernel extensions. Observing its perfomance in that mode will be instructive.
    The problems you describe are likely to have been caused by garbage software of which "TechTool Pro" is only one example. That system has been altered from its factory configuration through the installation of several third party system modifications, any one of which can cause poor performance. Interaction between two or more is another possibility. Running a torrent client is another way of inviting malware intrusion.
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • Pause / Resume button combination not working when set to display for "rest of project"

    Good day,
    I have created a set of four objects on slide2 of my project
    1. Smart Object rounded rectangle with text "(playing) - CLICK to Pause" [this is the graphic the user sees]
    2. Smart Object rounded rectangle with text "(paused) - CLICK to Resume" [this is the graphic the user sees]
    3. Smart Object rectangle, transparent, used as button, set to not display in project - btn_Resume
    4. Smart Object rectangle, transparent, used as button - btn_Pause
    A. Script assigned to btn_Pause hides btn_Pause and the "CLICK to Pause" graphic, shows the btn_Resume and "CLICK to Resume" graphic, and pauses the project by setting the system pause variable to 1
    B. Script assigned to btn_Resume hides btn_Resume and the "CLICK to Resume" graphic, shows the btn_Pause and "CLICK to Pause" graphic, and resumes the project by setting the system resume variable to 1
    C. All items are set to display from the beginning of slide2 for the "rest of project"
    On slide 2, the buttons hide/show and pause/resume behaviors work correctly.
    On slide 3, the correct initial button and graphic appears, and the click sound works when clicked, but no behaviors (show/hide/pause) occur until a good amount of time into the slide: you can click all you want for 20-30 seconds, but nothing works except the click sound. Eventually, the behavior will work.
    On slides 4 and following, the correct initial button and graphic appears, and the click sound works when clicked, but no behaviors EVER work.
    If the behaviors NEVER, EVER worked, I would keep looking for what I did not have set correctly, but the correct working on the slide where they are set, delayed behavior on the next, and no behavior on the remainder of slides following has me stumped.
    Captivate version 6.0.1.240
    Windows 7 OS
    I hope I'm missing something obvious here, and I'm more than willing to face-palm if you tell me . Otherwise, I have not been able to find any setting that makes any difference. I would REALLY rather not duplicate the buttons and scripts on every page of the project. Given the blog posts I have seen saying this method should work just fine, I'm hoping there is a side quirk somewhere that I'm missing.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Without clouding with too much explanation, this technique arose out of a need to deal with (in a different project) objects that were grouped, and wanting to deal with the groups in as simple a way as possible, allow for easy swapping of group assets, and having a few buttons do multiple things. The idea of being able to have multiple interactive buttons stacked on top of each other while appearing for the rest of the project led to trying this simple construct before trying something more complex.
    You are correct, that there is a simpler solution, which we ended up using because we were not able to get two interactive buttons stacked on top of each other while displayed for the rest of the project to work properly (although that is SUPPOSED to work, as far as I understand).
    Here's what we ended up doing:
    A) Two smartshapes used as messaging graphics
    B) A single (one) interactive smartshape used as a button
    C) A conditional action to pause/resume and show/hide the appropriate messaging graphics
    D) All three objects (A&B) stacked, B on top.
    E) All objects set to always appear on top, and to display for rest of project.
    Our hypothesis, then, is that you are not able to stack interactive objects on top of each other and then display for the rest of the project.
    If anyone has evidence to the contrary, we would, gladly, take a look.
    Thanks for your interest Lilybiri, and for your input.
    Best regards,
    Hank

  • Everytime I open itunes I get a message saying itunes has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution

    Everytime I open itunes I get a message saying itunes has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution

    I have the same issue. An iTunes help page (iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support) suggested I hold down shift and control when clicking to open iTunes, which opens iTunes fine for me. That would mean the problem is in the third party plug-ins that work with iTunes. However, the help pages did not say what to do with the plug-ins once I knew that was the issue. The pages said to find the plug-ins and move them to the Desktop, which I did. That's where the help pages stopped, which is ridiculous. Does anyone know what to do from there?

  • Site list update not working with TED and Zenworks for Servers

    Product: Zenworks for Desktops 7Sp1 and Zenworks For Server/TED 7Sp1HP5
    Subject: Site list update not working with TED and Zenworks for Servers ,
    all on Linux
    Description: We have an exiting environment with 6 ZfS Servers and now we
    brought up a new Server for another location. I configured all same as on
    the other Server and the new one created all NAL-Apps at the new location.
    But in the Application Site list on the golden App is this Application
    missing. So I clicked on the Link up site list on the Distribution Screen
    in C1. On ApplicationSite list the App from the new location is missing.
    So I removed all and added the new from the new location and now i see all
    in the application site list.When I install an app on the client on the
    new location NAL is connecting alway th the same (wrong location-server
    and i get an msi error 1612 or id=53272 with path=\Wrong serverpath to
    file.
    I looked on the other tab on C1 at the golden app an I see the backlinks
    are going to all other servers without the new one. Software installation
    on other locations are ok
    Regards

    Andreas,
    I forgot to mention that you can also set the loging level on the Distributor and the Subscriber to 6. to do this at the Zenworks Server Management prompt type "setconsolelevel 6" if you want to capture this to the log file ted.log then use "setfilelevel 6"
    Next delete the Distribution from the Subscriber and then re-push the channel.
    What we are looking for here in the log is the creation of the object and the linking information about the gold object. it should look like this (not the failure part ;-))) )
    In this excerpt you will see the entry
    Golden App =
    This should be were the link is to
    You can check this both ways in the Golden App and in the Distributed Application.
    Here is a log from me that shows this info as an example of what you should be looking for.
