While we are here, most discuss Simasimac as the primary indicating of bad caps. However I still get Simiasimac when booting -- I heard I should clean my RAM and ROM contacts. Any other suggestions?

Also, in the ... ugh... stress of moving I broke the retaining springy plastic clips that hold in the ROM chip on my spare motherboard, so now it will go in but not "click".

Any way to fix that? I was thinking if I had to use it the ugly way would be to use a capped spring (so it won't conduct electricity) on the battery holder to "push" the ROM module in place.
