Hey, how are you? I just found that an e-store has a RAM module suitable for your macbook. Do you want to upgrade to 4 GB… FOR FREE?

That was what I heard from my dad one morning and, let’s be honest, I would have been stupid to turn down such a good offer. 2 days later, a small package arrived. The first thing I did, was to call my friend Bilou and ask him to come over. Bilou loves hardware stuff, so I knew that he would like helping me out.

So, let’s see what we did exactly.

First, what we need? Apart from a macbook and the new chips, all we need is a screwdriver.

Now, we have to flip the macbook and remove the battery.

Once we have removed the battery, a sticker is there with instructions telling us what we have to unscrew  in order to change the RAM modules. (Unfortunately, there are no pics of me unscrewing but there are 3 screws to be removed).

In order to remove the old RAM modules, we must push that two little triggers and.. here you go, the old modules are out!

After removing the old modules, we have to insert the new ones. Unfortunately, there is no indicator (like a click-sound) that confirms that the module is placed correctly, so you have to press as hard as you can.

Now, you only have to redo the unscrewing part, place the battery and you are ready. Enjoy your faster Macbook.
