4. DDR II

5. DDR2
DDR2 SDRAM (Double Data Rate Two Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory)
DDR2 modules use a 1.8V power supply
DDR2 has 240 pins

6. DDR2

7. DDR3
DDR3 SDRAM(Double Data Rate Three Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory)
DDR3 SDRAM improves on DDR2 SDRAM in several significant ways:
Higher bandwidth due to increased clock rate
Reduced power consumption due to 90nm fabrication technology
Pre-fetch buffer is doubled to 8 bits to further increase performance
The voltage of DDR3 SDRAM DIMM's was lowered from 1.8V to 1.5V. This reduces power consumption and heat generation, as well as enabling more dense memory configurations for higher capacities.

9. Repair Flow Chart START Visual Inspection
check memory slot is no bent pin
or damaged.
Measure memory Voltage
Measure memory DQ /
Address,RAS#,CAS#,WE#
Measure memory Clock
Change NB
Change any damaged memory slot
Check memory Voltage 1.5V (1.8 or 3V) dual & Vtt
Check memory CLK
100/133/166..Mhz
Compare with good MB, trace NG signal
Fix any trace open or resistor damaged
Fix any trace or RLC damaged, change NG CLK Generator
Fix any voltage regulator or small inductor../trace open
Finished OK NG

10. Repair Technique-Visual Inspection
Visual Inspection to check memory slot is not damaged or bent pin inside. 1

11. Repair Technique-Measure Memory Voltage
Use Multi-Meter or Oscilloscope to measure Memory Voltage.
