I replaced the hard drive and RAM

heyaly -

My Problem

This is the second project I did opening my Macbook, and this went easily as well... I got a new SSD drive, and had to switch out the old drive into an external case. I also increased the RAM.

My Fix

It all went well! Really there is more to it... My old mac got spilled on and burned the motherboard, so I bought a new used one on craigslist. The new one was promised 16G ram and he offered me to buy it on ebay, plus a SSD drive. Then he got slippery... His number changed, the 16G ram didn't work on the i5, and even though I tracked him down on ebay, he left me in the dust with my money and the promise to sell me the computer with these new parts. Since I had I purchased the SSD, I ended up doing the work myself! I had already gotten the first set of tools from before, so I just needed the 3rd screwdriver to complete the job. I then sold the 16g and got 8g which I also installed.

My Advice

Don't rely on someone else to charge you more to replace these simple things, it is very straightforward how to do these things!
