backwards?

 

[AsianriceX]

keyed to prevent improper installation?

computer stuck in small space in desk because it can't be pulled out due to a few short cords so installation of anything must be done blindly?

Considering the sticks & slots are keyed that's quite the accomplishment.

what kind of ram though? It's notched so you can't install it any other way.

it made one of the tabs fall out, it was kind of wedged in there enough to make me think it was secured at the time

It must not have clicked in fully. Otherwise, o.o

About six months ago I bought my gf a 15" Powerbook G4 (1GHz, 256mb RAM) at a ridiculous price. She's a graphic designer and needed to run Adobe CS2 on it, and the memory wasn't cutting it. When I showed her how to open it to check if one or both SO-DIMM slots were being used, it took me a while to figure out what she was seeing...

...the previous owner had "installed" an additional 512mb SODIMM by laying it gently on the slot.

Less-than-$400 1ghz/768mb G4 Powerbook FTW!!

[imported_bum]

So you put it in there but didn't think to check if it was actually working or not?

Men often have that problem.
