Some genius removed 48 Megabyte of RAM (when that was a VERY large amount of RAM) with a screwdriver instead of pressing the release tabs. All dead. Not dead enough though, I repaired all modules by soldering tiny wires where needed. Result, me owning a machine with (for that time) a silly amount of RAM. Mainboard could just have 32 MB, so I bought a caching hard disk controller that got the remaining 16 MB.
