That DIMM slot is dead. You should get a full refund and buy another one.

I mean if you have to ask, it's not user-repairable guy, don't even think about it.

If you can live with one slot and the guy is offering you a big discount... up to you.

Same answer.

People buy slightly damaged goods all the time for a discount. The question is, is that OK with YOU? The ball is on you court man, we don't know what your situation is. One more time, CAN YOU LIVE WITH ONE SLOT?

If he's offering 50 percent back, I'd question why you're not getting a full refund for defective goods. If he clearly stated "everything is fine with it", he lied. Where did you purchase it anyway? EBay I hope, you may be in luck.
