Help! Installing memory

Question

I am trying to install a 512 MB memory chip into the bottom of my Macbook Pro. While trying to install it into the bottom slot, it got stuck. It isn't in far enough to push the gold part into the computer and it isn't out far enough to get it out. How in the world do I get it out without damaging anything?

Answer 1

Let's see if this helps. This is from memorystock.com
2. Insert the module into the socket at a slight angle (approximately 30 degrees). Note that the socket and module are both keyed, which means the module can be installed one way only.
3. To seat the module into the socket, apply firm, even pressure to each end of the module (see the arrows) until you feel it slip down into the socket. If you are having problems getting the module to seat properly, try rocking the module up and down slightly, while continuing to apply pressure.
? When properly seated, the contact fingers on the edge of the module will almost completely disappear inside the socket.
4. With the module properly seated in the socket, rotate the module downward, as indicated in the illustration. Continue pressing downward until the clips at each end of the socket lock into position. With most sockets, you will hear a distinctive CLICK, indicating the module is correctly locked into position.
