Ram slot kaput - how bad?

[koldmund]

Hi

Recently one of the Ram ports in my Powerbook G4 (.....I know) stopped working. I know you guys aren't psychics, but do you have a ballpark estimate, as to how much trouble I am in? Is the motherboard messed up?

Thanks!

Apple had a repair extension for some of these ... complaining still might work if the computer is part of it.

Thank you for the link. Was not aware of the program - unfortunately my mac is not in the (then) covered serial number range. Will try to complain, though.

Would anyone have some knowledge about how big a deal it would be to get it fixed?

You will probably need to have the logic board replaced. It will most likely be $500-$600 for the part plus labor.

Had a feeling it would be bad. So in other words -- get a new machine...

Thanks for helping out!
