One bad RAM stick in a school lab taught me to always test before swapping parts

Helped a high school in Akron replace 12 identical Dell OptiPlex machines after they all started blue screening. Pulled the RAM from one, swapped in a fresh stick, still crashed. Turns out the slot itself was bad, not the memory. Wasted a full afternoon because I assumed the hardware was the culprit. Ever had a repair where the obvious fix made things worse? What do you do when the new part is also the problem?
