Disclaimer: if you'd destroyed or shattered your notebook by using my
idea, I would not have been responsible. But, given that it worked, I
am happy to bask in the glory. :-) It did work for me in the past
however.  I only tried this after I reasoned about how these notebooks
were put together, and the fact that there didn't seem to be any
pieces that could (say) bend in the middle if you really leaned over
it hard.

So how would you describe that sound? :-)

As for replacement screws...I'm not so sure I'd go to the Apple store
for them. I might try a high-end hobby store, or somebody who does a
lot of notebook repairs. Let me get back to you on the PC2700 DIMM.
