Ram won't sit down flat in Laptop...


Recommended Posts

So whilst upgrading Ram in a Laptop the latches that hold the top most ram down flat broke away so the ram stick won't sit flat. Windows recognises the Ram and it works fine, but is this something that will cause issues?

Buy some thermal pads (tacky type but not adhesive) and stack them evenly over the module until it rests flush against the closing compartment door/keyboard. Should keep things in place during use.

Thanks everyone for the help.

sounds like someone was a bit too forceful when inserting the new ram - or put it in the wrong way.

It was when I was taking it out the old ram. I don't really know how it happened as I was half awake! :pinch:

Note to self: Have morning coffee before doing ANYTHING.
