Hi Esther

You are correct about the screws being longer in 3 of the holes. We sat and 
watched Gordon do this upgrade just last week, so it can be done without 
vision. We didn't seek any instructions because it seemed obvious once you have 
the back off.

But I am, as usual, amazed by your thorough research.

You can generally find instruction guides at the iFixIt site.  I did a Google 
Search on "ifixit macbook pro 13" unibody 2010 ram" and got the page for the 
replacement guide:
• "Installing MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2010 RAM"
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-MacBook-Pro-13-Inch-Unibody-Mid-2010-RAM/4319/1

You don't have to be so specific -- if you get to the iFixIt web site, you can 
just type in the search term for the particular model you want, and the 
operation you need to do (e.g. disk or memory upgrade).

There's a link to download a PDF guide under the "Format" heading.  (I'll send 
you the guide as an attachment off list).  Otherwise, you'll need to move to 
the second web page.  Actual instructions are simple, and involve removing 10 
Phillips #00 screws.  Keep track of these, because I think that 3 of the screws 
are longer, although the head size for the screw driver should be the same in 
all cases.

You can ignore the optional step about disconnecting the battery with a 
"spudger".  A spudger is just a general-purpose flat bladed tool for lifting up 
electronic components.

One thing I noticed: the instructions are the same for the 2010 and 2009 
Unibody MacBook Pro models, and although the web page doesn't refer to the 
model as  the 2010 MacBook Pro 13" in the body of instructions, the PDF file 
does.
