These pins are commonly referred to as connectors or terminals.

These are the connectors beneath the memory module. If any of them fail, it might be possible to replace or repair them depending on the model. Let me know if you need more details!
They are the small connectors linking the memory DIMM slot to the motherboard. How did you get them damaged? I think fixing this won’t be simple without proper SMD soldering skills and tools.
This section connects to another I posted, but some green left behind made me wipe it away. It looks like the pin could be damaged either from the residue or from brushing it off. I’m not sure if it’s broken, but it definitely might be. I’ve tried all possible solutions—alcohol 99%, brushing, compressed air—and the PC still won’t boot when the RAM is in place.
I checked online resources but didn’t find clear guidance on the procedure. It seems many people don’t try it, which might explain the lack of information. I’m unsure if the pin is faulty or just dirty, and it’s unclear how the pins are supposed to connect.
I don't think I own a heat gun, and I'm worried it could make things worse. Maybe I'll get a new motherboard and test the heat gun on it first to see if it helps.
You'll need a heatgun and significant practice with it. This kind of soldering isn't suitable for beginners, as it requires careful handling of many pins. In reality, I believe you're beyond your current skill level. An electronics repair store would be a more appropriate choice.
You're right. It seems they might be more expensive than the cost of replacing the motherboard. I might consider getting a new one in the future. Thanks for your advice.
Absolutely, I understand if I misread. I thought the board was inoperable. At that stage it felt like a "what's there to lose?" scenario. Regardless, nothing is guaranteed. Wishing you the best!
