My Problem
We needed to upgrade the mini to Lion, but it didn't have enough RAM.
My Fix
Took longer than I thought it would, but the guide was very good.
My Advice
I was able to use a thin butter knife instead of a putty knife. It worked well.
My Problem
I wanted a 2GHz core 2 duo instead of a 1.5GHz core solo
My Fix
Bad at first try but being patient proved to be efficient
My Advice
Be extremely careful when taking the heatsink out. My 1.5 processor was not locked in properly and it came with the heatsink
My Problem
I just wanted a challenge
My Fix
Pretty smooth, except it did not work the first time
My Advice
Be extremely carefull when taking the heatsink out. My 1.5 processor was not locked on and stayed glued to the processor. Sorry! Drop images not allowed
My Problem
The older versions of the MacBookPro (A1150) don´t have large Hard Drives, so we had to put in a larger one. At the same time the battery went wrong, so we had to replace it, simultaneous with giving the MacBookPro some more RAM
My Fix
With the guides of ifixit it was as easy as like playing a game!
My Advice
Everything I found, was like described in the repair guides from ifixit!
My Problem
I wanted more RAM, and my drive was starting to flake out on me
My Fix
very easy using your guides
My Advice
Always be sure to have all the tools handy and keep track of all the screws
My Problem
A friend wanted to install a version of OS X newer than Tiger and she needed more RAM to do it.
My Fix
It went perfectly. The RAM upgrade was without incident, it works perfectly, and I blew about one pound of dust out of the machine in the process.
My Advice
Nah. This was a very straightforward process. There's even a diagram for how to do it on the bottom of the iMac.
My Problem
My 2006 Macbook Pro was still running off it's original 1GB of RAM
My Fix
The repair was very simple and quick. My laptop now runs noticeably faster with just 1/2GB more.
My Advice
Don't believe the hype. Macbook Pro A1150 won't run higher than 2GB of RAM (just like iFixit said).
My Problem
Daughter's Macbook Core 2 Duo only had one GB of Ram and Lion requires two.
My Fix
Very straightforward install with the descriptive graphics on the computer.
My Advice
Push the ram in tight
My Problem
Only had 1 GB of RAM on an older MacMini, and needed to bump it to 2 GB.
My Fix
The repair was smooth.
My Advice
Take your time, and match pictures of the guides with what you are doing. Use a magnifying glass if you have one, to scope things out as you are taking things apart. Even take a few notes, I did, as you go along. Be sure to have all tools and parts at hand.
My Problem
In the past several weeks, by Lion release date, I noticed, that my Mac Mini wasn't capable of handling the new software, mainly for RAM issues and also is an insult to live with a 60GB HDD.
My Fix
Very well, do it by my self, with Mac mini mid 2007, no further problems, and everything works at the first start.
My Advice
Check every step of any guide to the end, and be sure to feel comfortable with the procedure you are about to attempt.
