Question : Problem: Problem with embedded RAM on IBM X40

I have an IBM x40 that according to the BIOS has 512MB of RAM but after looking where the RAM is usually contained there was nothing there.

I stripped the laptop down further and found that the 512MB of RAM is actually soldered onto the motherboard itself.

The problem is that the RAM has become faulty, but as it's soldered to board i can't just replace it.

There is a spare slot available for adding more RAM to the laptop but how do i go about disabling the Faulty RAM so that it's not active and that it just runs on the new good RAM?

You can't. Get a replacement motherboard.
