I've been trying to install RAM on my 12i Powerbook G4. Should be an easy task but the RAM slot is just so tight. I have right type of RAM but I just can't put it in its place since there's not much room to push it in and the slot, as usually, is very tight.

Any ideas, tipst or tricks how to do this without breaking something.

Cheers

i too thought i was going to break something. but i just pushed a little bit harder and it pop'd into place, jsut make sure you initially put it in on the right angle then with some force it should jsut slide into it place.

Yeah, I got it just a few minutes after the post. I was simply doing it in wrong angle. I wanted to keep the screws in with the lid so I didn't look on the other side where the instructions were, how stupid is that, doh.
