This is my current theory, and it appears to be working. I'm half-tempted to see what happens if I put a tiny touch of glue onto the chip, too, but for now it seems to work just sitting there. I think I'm gonna use a pair of elastic bands streched from teh alternate clips on either side of the main one to keep it from just sliding off. This isn't new, when I first got this guy I snapped the little clips that hold the vram in place. I had that problem licked by weding it down with a top for a film can. -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
