I just got a call from a friend. Disaster struck when he tried
to insert a too-thick SIMM in his IIcx, the little doodad on the
SIMM socket snapped, so there is nothing to hold the SIMM in.

THe apple dealer wants to swap motherboards at some obscene cost.
Has anyone ever kludged a solution to this problem? Failing that
does anyone know an outfit that does component level repairs?

Just out of interest, would this have been covered under Applecare
or would it have been dissallowed as unreasonable abuse?

Please reply as soon as possible.

Thanks alot,
