I broken one of RAM holders, everything works fine but calm my soul please

I have a Ti bought second hand that has the same problem - they are weak aren't they?

Anyway, when I fitted my 1Gb of RAM I made sure it was fully seated and then fixed it in place with a couple of blobs of silicone fixer (we use it at work for fixing components in place on PCBs) - being careful not to get it on any of the components just blob where the catch should be.

Aquarium sealant is the best equivalent that is readily available.

Normnod's suggestion is an interesting one, but I would have some concern about the acetic acid used in the silicone sealants with which I am familiar possibly causing problems down the line, and also possibly about impairing heat dissipation. There is a type of highly heat-resistant orange plastic tape widely used in electronic devices — I believe it's called Kapton tape, and you can see some inside your Powerbook if you open it up — that can be used to hold the top RAM module down by affixing a strip of tape to the underside of the lower RAM module, wrapping it around the outer edge of both modules, and sticking the other end to the top side of the upper module, thus fastening the two modules together in parallel planes. This has been reported here as a successful workaround for broken RAM clips in the past, including cases where the upper module mildly resisted lying flat in its slot.

Hi, Benedykt. Here is a link for an American vendor of Kapton tape. I doubt that this vendor would be interested in shipping a single roll of tape to Poland for you, but perhaps a computer or electonics repair shop near you would be willing to sell you a small piece (about 5cm of it would be plenty for your needs) for a nominal price.

Benedykt, I don't know whether or not it's really essential that you hold that RAM module down securely. The keyboard above it may prevent it from moving enough to cause any malfunction. But if the Powerbook were mine, I'd feel better knowing that something was holding the module in place. If the RAM clips were really unnecessary, there probably wouldn't be any in the first place.
