Mid 2010 1278 Kernel Panic

[RyanLEN]

Good Morning - I have a Macbook here with constant Kernel Panic. Passes ASD. I have changed RAM, hard drive and SATA cable with fresh install. Thank you in advance.

Check the piece of tape on airport connector. Remove the metal sponge thing on the cable it will short out the pins if the tape is missing. Make sure to use only PC8500 RAM.

Thanks.

Tape - good
RAM - Corsair 8500 MAC Memory

Remove sponge to be sure.
If problem persists try one RAM slot at a time, could be 1 bad one. If that does not solve it it's done.

Removed sponge. tried different RAM in both slots. Disconnected everything. It will boot to Disk Utility then fails. Thanks anyway. Appreciate it.

BTW. I know you said its pretty much done. Any thoughts just for my information on what may be wrong with it beyond repair?

I'm not trusting the Corsair memory, put is something else. Besides that it could be too many things, I have no idea where to start. Disconnect everything non essential too of course.
