Seems like the problem with the Macbook isn't with the ram itself, but the bottom ram slot :/. Good news is both modules still work, but I can now only use one (i can upgrade the working one for larger capacity).

@rek i had the same problem on a non-Pro 2010 Macbook (unibody white) [or maybe it was on my 2012 MBP, not sure anymore], one of the two ram slots was faulty too.
A few times when i opened the laptop, removed & put back the ram, it worked again for a while (or the opposite when it was working before i opened it >__>) ...
IIRC i ended up using only 1 ram slot too similarly, with one 8gb module

@ghostlevel seems like a common issue :/... sucks, but glad it can still be usable! Getting a module upgrade is rly an ok option.

@rek Yes! it's still better than a dead laptop.
