My Problem

Battery was not working any more. Took the opportunity to upgrade the RAM in the same run.

My Fix

The repair went well. I missed a Y-wing screwdriver but managed without.

My Advice

No advice. Straight forward replacement.

My Problem

Low on Ram. Ordered more from ifixit. Delivered within 3 weeks (U.S. to Sweden). Installed it, no problems. Now have faster Cpu! Thanks!

Great!

The more the Ram the faster she goes.

Increased RAM from 6MB to 8MB / Replaced rubber footings / Upgraded HD to 1TB SSD

My Advice

When ghosting/cloning your harddrive, be sure to pick a cloning software that is easy to use.

My Problem

Had to change the battery in my 5 year old MacBook Pro 15"

My Fix

The service and delivery speed was top notch!

Installed the new battery I got from Ifixit.

What bothers me is that the new battery is not as good as I expected.

It drains fairly quickly, almost the same speed as the old one.

The situation is somewhat getting better.

My Advice

Is this normal? Did I do something wrong when charging for the first time, etc. etc... Or are those batteries just some second grade product?

My Problem

My programs were running too slow since I upgraded to OS 10.10.5. The mail would get hung up and the spinning wheel was constantly on my screen. I installed 8 gb of RAM in my "vintage" macbook pro mid 2009. It was a breeze. Followed all the steps in the repair guide. Was very careful and took my time and everything went fine. Now the programs are opening in record time and mail is coming and going faster than jet planes. Before the upgrade from 2 gb to 8 gb. The mail was sending at carrier pigeon speeds. I did make sure to read through the repair guide on the website to see what tools I would need and that helped emensely. I did also order the screw driver and sprudger to open the back and seperate the power from the battery.

My Fix

Repair/Replacement went very well.

My Advice

Take your time, read the directions first and get the right parts.

My Problem

Upgrading my Mac mini

My Fix

OK

My Advice

No advice.

My Problem

My 6-year-old MacBook Pro couldn't handle modern technology anymore, so I decided to give it a boost.

My Fix

It was so easy! Literally took five minutes.

My Advice

If your computer is super slow, just get a new RAM chip (or 2) and replace it yourself. You'll be so happy you did!

My Problem

We are now developing using a VM, MySQL and PHP. Needed more memory to handle the requirements.

My Fix

Easy.

My Advice

Follow the tutorials on iFixit and order their replacement parts.

My Problem

Because I could.

My Fix

Very well; it now works as it should.

My Advice

Look for flashing indicator lights - they're a great clue.
