    hey got a question about my laptop, it is a Acer Aspire 3680, the other day the clips that holds one stick of memory in broke, does anyone know how I could fix this, was thinking of gluing the clips back on or using electrical tape to hold memory in place, but looking for suggestions first.

    Be carefull of glues. Bit hard to tell from the piccy. Is the RAM under a cover on the base or is it under the keyboard. What I am getting at is can you use a SMALL pad to apply pressure when it's reassembled.
    As for glue perhaps a very tiny amount of hot melt glue, as this can always be removed. Don't even think about superglue, it releases "salts" that white bloom you get with it.
