As you mentioned, the S1500-12P is no longer supported, and as the device is broken already you may consider if you feel comfortable with that, to open the device and see if there are standard memory modules inside. If you are lucky (seems to be DDR2 modules) you can try to replace them and see if that works. It may be that memory is soldered on the circuit board, in which case it's harder (I would not even try) to replace the memory chips.
Be aware that opening a device voids warranty (but there is none at the moment) and there is a chance to get an electrical shock if you power the device while opened; keep your common sense about that.

Subject: Aruba S1500 12P - can I replace RAM?
I know this switch is well EOL, I'm mainly just curious (fun weekend project?):
I got a used Aruba S1500 12P for home use, and 2 days into using it, it crashed and the RAM test on all subsequent boots failed.
Is there a way to replace the RAM on this switch? (Or if there's a different solution at all, besides the obvious)
