Tools of the Trade

Being from a family with generations of woodworkers and carpenters, I have always found the adage "The right tool for the job" to be true. The correct tool can make a task so much easier. Take, for example, the user that emailed in wanting more memory for his laptop.


The memory arrived at my home and I will plan to install it later today. Anything special I need to know about removing and installing the new chip? It appears a small screwdriver or needle nose pliers will help loosen carefully and lift the existing memory out. Once removed the old piece can be placed into position and pressed to secure it. Obviously the laptop will be powered down.

Obviously.

Personally, I just use a butter knife and a toothpick when replacing laptop memory.
