[QUOTE="cvx5832, post: 294863, member: 23118"] To put some reference on how much force was used, the tips of my three fingers had deep indentations on them after I got the memory in. Not sure how else to describe it. However like I said, if YOU feel that it's all that the MacBook/RAM module can take - safer to just back off. Too much at stake. As this seems to be a common issue with third party modules (at least with the PNY ones), good idean to call PNY support. I can imagine that several customers may have already given them a call about this, and may have the best solution (if any) to get through tight-fitting modules. Check out reviews for 5300/5400 replacement modules at Compusa and Newegg to start. You'll see how a tight fit seems to be on a lot of reviews. NOTE - of course all of this assumes that the orientation of the module (use the notch for reference) is correct. [/QUOTE]
