Im not a CPU expert so bare with me. I recently went and purchased some ram to upgrade my laptop and when I went to install it the clips on either side that hold the memory sticks in place broke clean off. Now I can run it off the other socket but considering I had 2 1GB sticks to throw in it already I obviously didnt want to do this, is it possible to position it in there and let the cover hold it in place or am I going to run into heating problems? Ive had the laptop on for nearly 4 hours now and it is running a little warm but Im not sure if its any different then normal, I have it in there and it is recognizing it and its working just fine with no problems with the CPU but I cant help but think Im doing more damage then its worth. Does anyone have any ideas as to whether or not this setup will work?

Re: Laptop Problem!!
Well Acer isnt going to help me without charging me 449.99 to fix it, sucks considering it was there cheap product that caused the problem but I guess there isnt anything that can be done about that. If anyone knows of any way to keep a memory stick in place when you dont have the clips/arm that holds it in place let me know either here or in a PM. Damn this sucks, spent the money, and now cant even use the memory I bought. -

You could try putting some type of spacer between the memory and the door, as long as whatever you use isn't going to melt.Member of The OS Baseball Rocket Scientists AssociationComment
