My RAM is fine, but when it gets seated, very little time passes before the System decides I only have GB. Someone told me that I should replace my motherboard. Does this seem to be a probable solution?
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

So to clarify your RAM socket lock clips are worn or the socket it’s self is distorted. While a new logic board might help lets see if we can save you a few bucks here.

Can you clarify how much RAM you have and what the system reports.
As an example: you put in 8 GB of RAM but only 4 GB is seen.

That’s exactly it, Dan I have 8MB installed, but Apple System Profiler says 4MB I was told this means that I need a new motherboard. On a couple of occasions I re-placed the RAM, but after a few days it stops showing in the ASP

My building-ham radio days were an entire lifetime ago (hopefully it’ll turn out to be half a lifetime...), so as always climbing inside an expensive kit like this is roughly equal to calling that girl back, in terror magnitudes; however, the old digits did remember the fine motor days of yore. Booting in 2, that’s more like it
Thanks again to you, and Props to the tool design crew at iFixit!
