Depending on how badly the thing is broken, this may or may not make a
difference.  I found when I went to upgrade several Macs from 2 to 4 megs
that all of the pieces had been broken off on one bank, yet the SIMMS
stayed in.  (these macs were desk macs, not ones carried around)

Depends on your dealer.  The dealer I go to asks no questions, though they
sure take their own *)*(&(&^ time about getting around to fixing it.
Just about every replacement board I've seen has SIMM sockets of different
colors, presumably this repair is a common one (though that doesn't mean that
they were done under AppleCare)
