This is not the only way memory modules may be repaired.

I had a lot of trouble with those mem modules, 32 MByte (MS02-CA) as well as the
8 MByte ones. Sometimes it is needed to reseat the modules. But often I found
that the big connector has got some broken soldering points. If one uses a
magnifier it will be clearly seen. I know that there are a lot of soldering
points. But since those modules are rare, they might be recycled by resoldering
the mem module. Be aware to use a grounded iron since the mem modules kinda
susceptible to electrostatic charge. Sometimes the broken soldering point may be
diagnosed with the finger nails  by grasping behind the terminal tags.
