   Well, this is
the second Tadpole laptop RAM module I've had go bad on me (one
 in my PA-RISC PrecisionBook and now one in my SPARC UltraBook IIi). These are
 the maroon-red 256MB or 512MB screw-in modules marked "Huxley Only" using a
 custom friction fit connector, not regular SO-DIMMs. I can't find an obvious
 part number on them and searching for Tadpole RAM modules just finds the
 rinkydink 8MB parts for the earlier SPARCbooks.  
 Can you tell if it's one of the DRAM ICs or if it's the connector? Deoxit on
 the connector then reseat? 
I don't think it's the connector, but it's junk if it isn't anyway, so I
might
see. These things screw in place and the fit was tight getting it out so it
would boot again, so I don't think it wiggled. Still, would be nice to know a
source for spares because it seems like others on this list have had similar
problems with theirs.
