Measuring RAM with Meter Tester

by aaron a baker . Updated 20 years, 9 months ago

My question is as follows;
I go to a client’s,home, open up his/her old computer or sometime a newer one, having already been to the Control panel to see how much Ram is supposed to be there and now I’m looking at two stick of sometimes three.
Trick is to find out if they are good. Or could it be that only one of them is partially shot?
This then brings me to the real question.
Is there a method,”Using an Amp, Ohm Meter or other measuring device whereas I could take the Ram out of the computer and run a few test to see if good and the if the amount of Ram was fully functional.
Yes I know,:), I could always do the “One stick at a time bit”, but I was thinking that is there must be a way that I could just touch the ram in certain areas [Contact Points] with the probes I might get equal or perhaps even better Result?
Any thoughts?
