Title: A4000D Ram Housing on motherboard
Post by: DaBest on August 09, 2006, 07:38:17 PM

I have a dead A4000 motherboard but the RAM slots are intact..meaning those little plastic holders are not broken.

My working motherboard has 2 slots that the plastic holders are broken. As anybody ever removed the complete housing from a motherboard then replaced it.

Or where could I find instructions/how to ..... for the removal.

Thanks

It's not worth the risk.. just glue your simms in place, you are almost certainly never going to remove them.

I have same problem. It might be a good idea to use hot-glue (haven't tried it yet) since it should be not too hard to remove, because memory CAN fail.

PS. I'd also reccomend not de/resoldering it.. its waste of time, besides new ones can also break easily.
