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. Lynne On 22 Aug 2011, at 01:37, Esther wrote: 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. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
