When ou say it LOOKS like bad ram, what do you see?  The contact points 
can be cleaned with an eraser (preferably a ink erasure).  Be REAL 
careful not to rub on any other part though, and do both sides.

I work with industrial laundry equipment which use a lot of processors, 
and have this issue often.  Laundries tend to be damp and hot, not a 
friendly place for computer equipment, which is good for me.  Make a lot 
more money because of it!
