Hey, Got a couple of pizza box's here (a LC and Performa 450) that are giving me intermittent ram problems, the LC has oxidised contacts on the ram simm, and the 450 has the opposite problem, oxisied contacts on the simm slot. the LC seems to be ok after i cleaned the simm with alcohol (though it didn't really remove allot of the oxidation)
However the 450 is being more of a pain, with a ram simm installed it keeps giving me either no boot or death chimes, remove the simm and it works perfect (although quite slow). i'm sure the simms are ok, as reseating them gets it booting, but it just ends up going back to not booting.
so dose anyone have any good methods of cleaning the oxidation off the simms and their slots?
thanks
