you should be alright, try avoiding giving it a shock, or dont break it,when taking it out unhook the 2 sides of the stick and take it out gently, dont use force, and read what ever u have to read, and when placing it back in, put it the same way u found it, try to memorise or see the bottom of the ram stick so it matched the holes into ur motherboard, and push it in, and when its in, close the ends of the ram stick
