It's 2020. I bought a Macbook Pro 2012 on Craigslist yesterday for $150. The same bottom ram issue of my bottom ram slot on my Macbook pro I fixed with a plastic straw while drinking a cocktail. I cut two small pieces of the straw and placed them under the bottom ram slot. But first I loosened 4 screws that held the ram bracket. And I tightened the screws back in the end. My Macbook Pro mid 2012 recognized both ram slots!! It works!

Wow, brilliant ! It worked for me too, with some extra thick card. I was going mad swopping sticks, all worked in the top slot, but the bottom contacts were the problem so it seems. You've saved my evening, many thanks.

I tried the paper method for a MacBook Pro Late 2008 model and it worked, except I used 4 pieces of paper because with 2 pieces it would boot but go all funky and crash. Mines was also the bottom ram module. thanks a bunch!

@@MICROREPAIR hi thanks for your reply. I will try to add pressure. Now it’s slightly odd. I can usually make pressure for an hour or two. Sometimes only 5 minutes. Then the beeps return. I have hope in solving the problem though. I should imagine if I needed to solder then no amount of pressure would fix my problem. But it is fixing momentarily. So hopefully just a case of finding the right place to apply force.

I got a mbp2012 i7 with 2 ram slots of 4gb each one. you recommend me use only the top slot and buy a 8 gb ram ? use the card method or apply soldering to the ram pine? thanks for all im from Chile sorry for my English...
