Broken SIMM tabs on Mac IIci

MessageIf you want to send me $2 plus the shipping cost I will mail you a replacement motherboard. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Lafleur To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 11:25 PM Subject: Broken SIMM tabs on Mac IIci Ok, so I did it... When trying to remove the SIMMS in my Mac IIci I broke some of the little tiny plastic tabs, so now the new SIMMs won't lock in. Is there some "fix" to get the SIMMs to stay in, short of soldering new sockets into the board (which I am not about to do)? Also, I broke them on Bank A. I assume you can't use RAM in Bank B without having Bank A full... Should I just trash the motherboard? Or can I salvage it somehow? Are these SIMM tabs particularly vulnerable, especially on this old equipment? I broke them on 2 machines, and on the 2nd one I did, I was trying to be very careful. - Bob (not a happy MACer today)
