Glad you made progress @spdrpig. I should inspect my pins on slot 0 as well. I’m trying to get my second sodimm (GSkill 16GB DDR5-5600 model: F5-5600S4040A16GX1-RS) to train rn and if it doesn’t work this round, I’ll do the needful and inspect the slot more closely.
Thanks for reporting your findings.
As to my original problem:
I can report that the system has been booting up fine and no further issues with the original framework memory module using slot 1.
Update:
Confirmed. I have a bent pin too @spdrpig. DIMM slot 0.
Update 2:
Well I didn’t think that was going to work, but I was able to gently move the pin back into the guide. It wasn’t pretty but apparently it made contact and boots now! For any who would attempt to do this: I recommend you contact support to see about replacing it first and if they care if you try repairing it yourself.
In other news, these GSkill sodium’s will work with the Framework 13” Ryzen 5 7640U:
Update 3:
Support got back to me. I’m going to run memtest for a while and see if any issues crop up. I asked support to leave my ticket open until I’ve had enough passes to feel confident that I won’t need an RMA at this time.
