Find a guide to fix laptop RAM pin issues.
It occurred during RAM installation when one pin became stuck deeper than others. Using tweezers didn’t help, and placing tape on the pins didn’t resolve the issue. Someone could recommend heat- and electrical-resistant tape or specialized tools for fixing pins. Another option is applying pressure to push the RAM into place, as it works under force. For your Lenovo IdeaPad 320 (15GB), ensure you use compatible replacement parts and follow proper installation steps.
Have you attempted to clean it? It appears quite grim. You might try *carefully* wiping it with a strong alcohol solution and cotton swab, then gently removing debris. I've even used plastic toothpicks previously (though I don't advise using them). Also, after cleaning, ensure the alcohol is fully dried before turning it on.
Using manual techniques and tissues, I’ll also give it a shot. It won’t get messy; just the light bouncing around.
Is it visible in the BIOS? Make sure the device itself is functioning properly. You should be able to lift that pin using tweezers—it’s built to bend, so you should be able to return it to its original place. Also, consider wiping all the pins with alcohol and a gentle brush (like a toothbrush).
