A friend of mine has gotten himself into such an embarassing fix, he
wants me to post this query (remaining anonymous himself):

The scenario:
He installed SIMMs into his MacIIcx. For good reasons, he then wanted to
remove them again. In doing so, he broke one of the retaining clips on
one of the SIMM sockets, with the result that attempts at installing
SIMMs in that socket again are unsuccessful - the SIMM will not click
in place.

What should this poor person do, or where can he find someone to fix
this - or does it entail a full motherboard change?

Best regards,

Sigurd Meldal

(My MacII still has its full complement of SIMMs - this actually
is posted for somebody else.)
