Truth be told it's not that difficult to do the tape method although the
method shown on mac elite is probably not the easiest - I find it much
easier to first stick a length of tape to a flat surface and cut a sliver
off lengthways about 12th inch wide (I just guess) - then apply it to mask
the pins and trim leaving enough extra just to curl under the bottom of the
connector to make it more secure. Two minute job really....you will know if
it's not correct as the mac will not boot but no damage is done to the mac
or the card.
