Problems with expansion RAM iMac G5 iSight
I just bought a new iMac G5 (iSight) - w/ 512 MB RAM built in. I bought an additional 512 MB RAM from the apple store and tried to install it as decscribed in the manual. tried to do it 3 times but each time it has failed to recogize the extra RAM. it always displays 512 MB (standard) and it always identifies the exansion slot as "empty".
Does anyoe have an idea of how hard you need press to install the RAM and how loud is this "click" sound should be ? When I did it, I didnt really hear a very distinct click sound, nor did it seem to be a very TIGHT fit into the slot...it appeared to be a 'loose' but secure fit. Is this normal ? Or do you have to exert a considerable level of pressure to fit it securely and hear the "click"?? I was wary of doing so for fear it would damage my machine.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Many thanks
