Etc. Hello Maxtek: Sorry, I forgot to mention that you also move the card around very delicately until it settles a fraction of an inch into the socket, then remove your hands (I already hear the jokes, very funny, ha, ha, ... O.K. I'm making them, too, I can't resist - "How am I supposed to etc., etc., ... without my hands? O.K.!, put your hands back _on_ then) and look at both sides of the connector to make a judgement of whether the connector is properly in its socket or not. Then, oh god, please forgive me, instead of "Plug and Play" it's "Press and Pray". Make sure that you press on _both_ sides of the memory connector evenly as it settles into its socket. Please let us know if this helped or even if it solved your problem. Sincerely yours, Grizzlygiant -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
