I've just noticed that the lower RAM slot in my 15" powerbook is not recognizing the RAM that is in there. I swapped the upper for the lower and I am still getting the same result. I expect that it's mechanical, but before taking it in, I wanted to troubleshoot the issue a little bit. Is there a utility that will do this for me? thanks.

Apple Hardware Test shows that the RAM is recognized, but there is an error on the hardware side. Is this a logic board issue? Anyone had experience getting this fixed - or will it be cheaper to buy a 1GB stick and abandon the other slot. The machine is out of warranty and Apple Care.
