Easy

My Problem

Constant beach ball. Simple tasks painfully slow to execute.

My Fix

Swimmingly. Opened it up, dropped in the goods (solid state drive, new RAM, new battery), and boom! Back in action. I had a few hiccups installing Yosemite from USB drive, which were quickly countered with the moves shown below.

My Advice

Before installing OS X, you will probably need to format your drive to GUID (http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/16/make-os-x...).

If you get an error message installing OS X (in my case Yosemite) for no apparent reason, you may need to set the time through terminal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvd1D129...).
