HOLY COW .. my twinmos UTT mtec is alive again!! muahahahah

so here's the story, about 4-5 days ago, 1 of my beloved Twinmos mtec value, died after flashing BIOS>clear CMOS,do the "routine",... turn ON.. and she DIED, only one survive (which is in slot #1, dead one on the #3 DIMM) - she's running @ 260 2-2-2-5-7-15 with 5v jumper , running at 3.5v before flashing, FYI 260 only for benches, and for 24/7 i use 3.3v 250 2-2-2-5 for almost 3 month (i forgot)

so... because my vendor doesnt have any stock of these stick,and i've read somewhere that MAYBE she'll wake up someday.. so i decided to keep the stick and just try everything to get her up again . yes i only using 1x512 at that moment (it's been a hard time)

so this what i do (dunno which one bring her alive) :
1. wrap with my vga wrap(sorry dunno what it called in english), and put it on my fridge for about 6-7 hours
2. try to turn on> no go .. so i put her back again in the fridge for like.. 8hours
3. try again > no go .. ok.. getting desperate, so i just put on my desk and try to forget it
4. just now.. (after 4-5 days), i try my luck.. put her back again in slot #3
!!this time i use bigtoe vdimm jumper solution!!

and you know what... back and running as usual..., now im too afraid to turn of my computer :p

i'll do some test now, i hope she's doing well like before

so maybe, because i have read dead UTT everywhere (more than 80% on DFI NF4 boards), u could try the method before RMAing yor RAM sticks..

any inputs are welcome,
