hi

i got a hp ze4210 notebook which i just bought a stick of 256mb ddr for last nite. i had a hard time tryin to install it because the slot lays totally flat, meaning its not upright so i can just push it in.

anyway, while trying to push it into the slot with a screwdriver and napkin, i accidently hit a tiny chip on the stick of ram, which broke off and fell into the laptop.

i cant see where the tiny chip fell into so i can't fish it out. so i am really scared that if that tiny chip gets in contact with the rest of the motherboard or other parts, it could cause damage to my laptop.

is this a big problem? what should i do?
