You know on the SIMM and DIMM modules how it has those little snaps that
hold the module in the socket?  Why do you think those are there?
Because power-on/off cycling causes thermal expansion/contraction and
they'd crawl out of those sockets enough to make bad electrical contact.
Talk to somebody who remembers the days when we had individual DIP RAM
chips, generally socketed because back in the day they were expensive,
so you didn't want them soldered on a board.

If anything on a connector starts to misbehave, pull it out and reseat
it, then try it.
