Introduction
An den RAM in diesem Rechner heranzukommen ist unkompliziert und mit wenigen Schritten erledigt.
-
-
Lege die Oberseite des Gehäuses mit geschlossener Klappe auf eine glatte Oberfläche.
-
Drücke den Verschlusshebel auf der geriffelten Seite der Klappe in das Gehäuse des MacBooks, bis du den Verschlusshebel auf der anderen Seite greifen kannst.
-
Öffne den Verschlusshebel so weit, dass er senkrecht steht.
-
-
-
Ziehe an der weißen Plastiklasche und damit den Akku gerade nach oben und aus dem Laptop.
Great tutorial ! great step !
-
-
-
-
Entferne die im Bild gezeigten acht Schrauben, die die Bodenplatte mit dem Rest des Gehäuses verbinden:
-
Eine 3 mm Kreuzschlitzschraube.
-
Drei 13,5 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben.
-
Vier 3,5 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben.
Make sure you have a good quality Phillips screwdriver. Mine had removable tips and had a small play at the connection. As a result I didn't have a good feel and damaged my screws (those securing the fan and the top left in step 23). Game over for me installing new thermal paste...
Be very carefull with your screws! Especially those on the inside.

-
-
Entriegele den Speicher, indem du die beiden Laschen an den Seiten des Arbeitsspeichers gleichzeitig weg von diesem drückst.
-
-
-
Nachdem der Speicher schräg aus dem Rechner guckt, ziehe das Modul gerade aus dem Rechner heraus.

Open back of unit, press two grey sides surrounding the chip, pull out the top (leave the bottom 2gb in) put in the new (4gb) chip; now there are 6gb of ram.
I just upgraded to 2 4GB chips. Works fine sofar!
That's awesome! I thought that I could only upgrade the RAM to 4GB (which is what I have now). Can you give me the type of RAM that you installed? I have this exact model MacBook.

Uh oh. I replaced my 2 1GB ram with 2 2GB. I turned it on and it beeps at me about every second, the front status light blinks in time, but nothing else....what next?
Sounds like bad RAM. I would contact who you purchased it from. If it was us, email support [at] ifixit [dot] com
I have used your guide several times, and appreciate how clear you are. I found that my PH#00 tool was too big; the PH#000 worked perfectly-- we did buy this used and it's "possible" that the screws were replaced-- but it would seem odd if all of them were-- having said that, there are 3 missing-- luckily the case seems to be holding together ok.
Piece of cake! :)
hi is it possible to upgrade RAM from 2 X 2GB to 2 X 4GB
Hi Ramón,
Yes, you can indeed upgrade the memory to a total of 8 GB. Just remember to use 2 identical RAM modules (PC3-8500).
This is not a a1278 unibody MacBook Pro. A1278 MacBooks backs are one solid metal piece not two separate pieces. This guide is for a different MacBook Pro.

I am experiencing the same issue. The A1278 I have before me has a top and bottom with no battery door.

This guide isn’t for a pro; it’s a MacBook unibody.
