[ltp] T30 memory not recognized

[Bill Andrus]

This is a very common problem with T30, I had two that both experienced
this.  There's a guy on eBay that fixes these for a set fee, you ship and
he fixes JUST this lower SO DIMM Socket issue.  Otherwise, the IBM solution
is to replace the system board.
