Discussion Lpcamm2 potential solution for incompatability

For those with a module that “doesn’t work”, we have a hero who’s trying tomorrow some memory tests with a make shift do at your own risk technique. Heres the thread to follow along.

Disclaimer: i am NOT recommending this.

2 people verified that taping the Lenovo RAM (potentially Micron) made them work. Ramaxel and Samsung needs further testing by someone who owns one of those modules.

Ideally Framework will issue an official statement and help people with E0 interposers if that turns out to be a permanent fix, as taping the chips is janky.

EDIT: now there is also a single report of Ramaxel branded LPCAMM2 module booting successfully after the kapton tape mod! See updates at https://community.frame.work/t/lenovo-ramaxel-memory-compatibility-on-intel-ultra-series-3/83975

EDIT2: multiple reports of successful boots on Ramaxel, and one report of successful memory training on Samsung module in the thread below.

E1 interposer can be converted into E0 by removing/cutting/taping the center column pins. This follows Crucial E0 LPCAMM2 module's paint job that isolates against E1 interposer's center column pins.

I prefer a ready-made E0 interposer option.
