David Buchanan , a well-known hardware modder, has detailed how he was able to gain root access on a laptop using nothing more than a resistor and wire.
The method involves a hard DRAM mod, soldering a tiny 15 -ohm resistor, and wiring an "antenna" to specific pins on the laptop's memory module.
With a few extra steps, Buchanan managed to configure the machine to grant root privileges, letting him read/write to any point in the physical memory.
