(Solution for models with removable RAM sticks) · The issue you're experiencing is due to the CPU overheating, which causes the solder connections on the "SLOT A" memory RAM to become soft and detach from the motherboard. · When you disassemble your laptop, you may notice melted rosin or flux residue. · Unfortunately, there isn't a permanent fix for this. · One temporary solution is to apply pressure to the top of the RAM holders to try and secure a good connection, which might prevent the laptop from displaying the "2 amber + 4 white" error code. · However, the best option is to use "SLOT B" and upgrade the memory stick in that slot. I hope this helps! · Gosh
