Lamp0 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldiers33 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 shouldnt really the only issue I could see is that if you drop the laptop then the ram might pop out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason S. Global Moderator Posted December 28, 2012 Global Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2012 sounds like someone was a bit too forceful when inserting the new ram - or put it in the wrong way. anyway, as long as it's snug, i think it'll remain safe.

Arachno 1D Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Maybe taping it down would stop it popping out during transit.Something like double sided sticky tape may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye666 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Do not use duct tape. It is conductive. use a bit of electrician's tape is fine however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aergan Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamp0 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 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.
