Hi Vogons!
I have this RAM module and I have observed that there are rusty and broken pins, I am attaching a photo.

Hi,
I use JENOLITE Rust Remover GEL + a slim and soft tooth brush.
Very good for this kind of thing and recover the original platted.
Regarding your RAM, to fix the peeled pins you can try with a good cleaning + a good electric conductive paint ... but I will not bet on success or stability afterwards.

I don't see any rust, just oxidised copper that doesn't have any tinning (solder) on it.
See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

While it's technically possible to replace damaged or lifted pads, in this case it's probably more trouble than its worth.
It might be worth salvaging the RAM chips, but that's about all I would do with that particular SIMM.

You could probably make that pcb in kicad and order a replacement, and transplant the chips. But just buying another is easier.
If the pads are ripped off, that is what I would do.
If they are just corroded re tin them.
