How to replace your RAM & HD in a Macbook!

This should be a pretty comprehensive repair guide for upgrading your RAM and hard drive in your Macbook. This will be the same for all B&W macbooks. I may leave something or, or omit, and this is something done at your own risk.

It is very easy, it can be done in less than 10 minutes and can save you a bunch!

Keep your goods safe and grounded, in the photo below check out some materials you should have before you get started. You will also need a hex key for the tins bolts holding the drive onto the sled. I'm not sure the exact size, and if you don't have a kit, you should buy one :-)

You can really increase the performance of your machine with these two upgrades. I took this 2.16 macbook with 1GB & 120GB wd hard drive to - 500GB seagate barracuda & 4GB of RAM for $120 through macsales.com They have the best gear and a great price.

Please rate highly if you think this is valuable!

Step 1 Materials Needed.

Quality Hard drive - I am using a Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 500GB drive, 3 year warranty and excellent performance. Spend the $80 and get one. Don't skimp on your Mac!

RAM

Phillips 00 screwdriver

Star hex kit

Static mat/grounding strap

Geek stick

This is awesome. I wish I had these kind of instructions when I went about this a couple years ago :)
