It's time to speak out for your right to repair
Dear Minnesotans,
Right now, Minnesota has a chance to pass the first Fair Repair bill in the nation.
We have a chance to guarantee our right to repair electronics—like smartphones, computers, and even farm equipment.
We have a chance to help the environment and stand up for local repair jobs—the corner mom-and-pop repair shops that keep getting squeezed out by manufacturers.
We've been working with local repair companies, non-profit refurbishers, and tech-savvy politicians to come up with a solution. And they've done just that — Minnesota is the first state to consider a Fair Repair Bill.
If you agree with us, find out who represents you in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
Tell them you support the bipartisan Fair Repair Bill, HF 1048. Tell them that you believe repair
should be fair, affordable, and accessible.
MacBook Unibody Model A1342 Teardown
Thanks for the fantastic breakdown, found it really useful before carrying out a few upgrades! (8GB RAM and more recently a new Samsung SSD)
I was wondering though, is it possible to change the entire logic board in the name of upgrading the processor and graphics card? Is it something which would be advisable?
On another note I am also having some trouble with my Macbook getting rather hot, particularly whilst streaming video. It's sat on a flat desk with nothing obstructing the air intakes. I generally have an external display plugged in and the lid closed (using a bluetooth mouse and keyboard). The heat appears to be emanating from the logic board, I was wondering wether it's related to the graphics card being overloaded or something. I don't know much about all this stuff so i was wondering wether you have any potential diagnosis? Is it possible to upgrade the fan maybe? Thanks, Rob.
