I have a few sticks of PC-133 (512MB and 128MB) with blown gold leads on them, I think the ram is still good, just the lead is fried, I would like them fixed.

I also have a stick of 256MB DDR PC-266 (nec) with the same problem and a stick of I think 256MB PC-266 thats just dead (have no idea, no physical damage that I can see, but the top of one of the chips looks like gold paint on it, maybe shorting it out, would need cleaning and testing)

anyone here know someone who can do this work?

It's hard to judge what's wrong with a memory module using our physical eye.
I worked as a electronic technician for serveral years and have the soldering skill
and tools. Quite often we can zap a good memory module by touching it because
we can store excess electrical charge in our body. Therefore, it very important to
discharge ourselves (grounding) before handling any electronical sensitive components.

Email me with more info, maybe I can help you out.
