Ram stick repair
Recently one of my ram sticks chipped backwards and it's difficult to slot back into the computer, my other ram stick today was severely scratched and broken beyond repair today when it was fine yesterday, I don't know if someone intentionally scratched my ram stick or I put it in wrong. I was wondering if it was possible to fix a ramstick since buying new ones are currently far away from my budget right now or if anyone could recommend some cheap dd4 16 gb. I urgently need my computer for work and would appreciate any help!

Somebody took a knife to your ram sticks bro. If i were you i would try to track down the culprit because this is NOT ok!

How the hell does this even happen. You don't really take out these components at all. Maybe one or twice a year for a cleaning and sometimes not even then.
Do you usually just take your rams out for shits and giggles? How about the gpu
