- hinkley 8mo agoI helped someone turn that on because we still didn’t have full furniture sets in our houses and new memory was going to have to wait a couple paychecks. Several times I set about trying to turn it on and found out a whole chip was fried and that means the 7th bit of every read was stuck, so nothing much you can do there.
