Thanks to everybody for your advice. I have downloaded the tester Nancy
recommended and have successfully tested the first of the four chips
through
1000+ passes. I'm about to switch to the second one, and am curious.
Do I
need to disconnect all of the cables from the back of the machine each
time
I open it and switch chips? I'm using an anti-static wrist strap. (I
know
this must sound lazy...)
People's opinions probably vary on this, but I always unplug everything
before opening up the computer. At a minimum you should probably
unplug the power cord.
I don't use a grounding strap except in the winter months. Our house
has a lot of static electricity that time of year. Otherwise, I just
touch the metal housing before touching sensitive parts.
Nancy
