ABSTRACT:
Methods for preventing disengagement of electrical connectors in computers are disclosed herein. A method in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes securing a bracket of a retaining device to an electrical component in a computer. The method further includes installing an electrical connector into a receptacle on the electrical component, and positioning a retainer portion of the retaining device at least approximately adjacent to an outwardly facing surface of the electrical connector. In this embodiment, the retainer portion of the retaining device is operatively connected to the bracket of the retaining device. Positioning the retainer portion in this manner prevents the connector from disengaging from the electrical component.
