Toshiba Recalls Notebook RAM

Posted by samzenpus on from the bad-memory dept.

TheSync writes "The Register is reporting that Toshiba is recalling notebook RAM blaiming third-party DIMMs. This follows on HP's bad notebook RAM in June. Which raises the question, is there a vast sea of bad DIMMs out there?"

    is there a vast sea of bad DIMMs out there?

    Maybe so, the HP Compaq laptop I'm typing on had 1G of RAM replaced several months back.

    As for slashdot editting, though, the memory isn't the only thing DIMM.

    It's the distant, and not-so-shiny cousin of 'bling.' Blaim was discovered by a scientist that accidentally blew up his lab by mixing certain combustible chemicals. As the smoke cleared, the lab supervisor came running to find out what happened. Luckily, nobody was hurt. When he asked the scientist how the explosion happened, he was told that one of the janitors must have knocked over a beaker...or something...

    And blaim, or 'blame' as we call it in English, was born.
