I have two 820-3115 boards that have RAM slot issues. The bottom slots are bad so the MacBook works with one stick of RAM in the upper slot. When RAM is in the lower slot, it beeps and does not post.
What are my options? I'm not sure if this is repairable or if it's just a waste of time...

Only viable option is to max out the working slot with 8GB. You could quickly check if the dead slot has any stuck pins, but usually it is a waste of time.

For me 110% of these have been a waste of time, don't use the dead slot. I usually charge customer for one 8 GB stick + profit, or remove the nonfunctioning stick and keep it moving.
