MacBook Pro 17" Modelle A1151 A1212 A1229 und A1261 RAM austauschen

What you need

  1. MacBook Pro 17" Modelle A1151 A1212 A1229 und A1261 RAM austauschen, Akku: step 1, image 1 of 1
    • Drücke mit deinen Fingern die beiden Laschen der Haltevorrichtung, um den Akku zu lösen und aus dem Computer zu entfernen.

    Before upgrading to a larger HD, you'll want to "clone" your original HD using the donation-ware program "Carbon Copy Cloner" (http://www.bombich.com/). Put the new HD in an external case; clone the original; test the clone (by starting up with it), then take apart the MacBook to put the new HD in the MacBook, and the original in the external case for use as a backup, etc. (You can't just drag the contents of the original HD to the new HD, and expect it to work; not since the days of OS 9 and before.)

    I made the mistake of wanting to do a clean install of OS and start fresh after installing a SSD. Now I can't install most browsers on OSX Leopard. Does anyone know what is the most current version of OS I can put on this system? (disk or download) Can I get to Snow or Lion?

    You can install OS X 10.7 LION and no later version. Although LION runs ok with 2GB RAM it does help to get 1GB + 2GB = 3GB. Even if you install 2 X 4GB you will only utilize 3GB. Installing a SSD seems to make no difference since the SATA bus is only 1.5GB/s. A good 5400rpm disk is good enough. I even run BootCamp and Windows 7. Works fine. Not fast but fine. My A1212 refuses to die :-)

    There seems to be some discrepancy about whether or not installing a SSD will help. See Phil's earlier comment from October 2015: there, *he* claims that having an SSD increases the load times significantly, (even though -- of course -- 1.5Gbps is not ideal)...

    His quotation, (re-)cited integrally:

    Just replaced my old HD with a Corsair Force LX SSD (which is SATA 1-3 compatible as required by this model) with success now my old 'outdated' laptop has super fast loading times and is postively flying faster than the speed of 'sound'. Thanks for the guide. Only problem I faced was replacing the top panel which after a few minutes of panic realised the rubber mounted Mic next to the left speaker had risen up when I had removed the top panel so after carefully pushing it back into place the panel fitted back how it should, so beware of this possible problem.

  2. MacBook Pro 17" Modelle A1151 A1212 A1229 und A1261 RAM austauschen, RAM Abdeckung: step 2, image 1 of 1
    • Entferne die vier identischen 3,4 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben von der Speicherabdeckung. Diese Schrauben haben einen Schraubenkopf mit einem Durchmesser von 4 mm im Gegensatz zu denen mit einem Durchmesser von 3 mm am Gehäuse selbst.

  3. MacBook Pro 17" Modelle A1151 A1212 A1229 und A1261 RAM austauschen: step 3, image 1 of 1
    • Hebe die Abdeckung gerade so weit hoch, dass du sie fassen kannst, um sie dann auf dich zu zu schieben und so aus dem Gehäuse zu ziehen.

  4. MacBook Pro 17" Modelle A1151 A1212 A1229 und A1261 RAM austauschen, RAM: step 4, image 1 of 1
    • Löse gleichzeitig die Klammern an den Seiten des RAM Chips. Die Klammer befestigen den Chip , wenn sie gelöst werden, klappt der Chip hoch.

    does it matter which chip goes in first; the 2 or the 4?

    • Ziehe den Chip direkt aus seiner Steckverbindung.

    • Wenn zwei RAM Chips verbaut sind, wiederhole diesen Schritt für den zweiten Chip.

My 1261 came w/2 of the 2gig sticks and If I understand things I'read here, I buy a 4 gig stick and replace one of the already installed 2 gig sticks and the machine will see and use 6. Is this about it?
