Anyone ever replaced one of the RAM SIMM sockets on an A4000 motherboard? On my A4000 there are two of them that have broken locking tabs. One of them has one side intact, so the RAM stays in pretty well. The other one (the outermost SIMM socket) has both tabs broke off and has been that way since I got it.
Right now I have a kludge in place involving a long screw and a piece of a CD jewel case wedged under my Video Toaster 4000 card. lol. It works, but isnt pretty.
I am familiar with soldering and desoldering, but was wondering if the traces and pads involved with the SIMM sockets are at all more delicate than average pads/traces... Are the pads through-plated?
