Fixing RAM Bracket

[Acorn Eyes]

My motherboard has one of the RAM bracket clips broken off.

 

I have no idea if it's still usable without one of the clips, but I would like to know how to repair/replace it.

I've never had an instance where the clip was damaged nor do I know how to replace one but provided all of the pins for the slot are intact and provided you don't touch it after putting a stick of memory in it should be able to operate fine. The pins applying pressure to the RAM stick will hold it in place.

It's still usable, the clips are there to secure the RAM in place.

 

But the clip itself is likely not replaceable on the premise that you're not going to find just a clip for sale. A whole RAM slot is more likely, but replacing that would involve a mess of desoldering/soldering.
