RAM Unseating
So I have been having problems with my RAM for the past year or so and I figured my logic board was beginning to fail and just accepted it but today I found out what the problem was. To back up a bit, I have been having troubles waking my MBP from sleep and occasionally it would load only 4GB of my 8GB or RAM. It seemed like it was only recognizing that I had 1 stick instead of 2. I had this problem in the past and Apple replaced my logic board, but now my MBP is about 5 years old and they won't do that. So, anyway, when I have these episodes where only 1 stick loads, I usually shut my MBP down and just reseat the RAM and this usually fixes the problem. Well, today I noticed that the notches that hold the RAM in their modules has worn down some and I am pretty sure this is why the RAM is unseated every once in a while. Is there a way that I can "tighten" them down without replacing the logic board? I was considering using some electrical tape but I wanted to see if anyone had adivce on this. I would rather not tape down my RAM but I don't know of a better way to increased the tension on the clamps to keep the RAM in. Any thoughts?
If you aren't sure what I am referring to, take a look at the image. I pulled it from the net because I didn't want to open up my MPB again and take a picture for fear that I may make the problem worse. Anwyay, the notch is in the region I circle (little blue circle).
