PC3-10600 4 GB RAM Chip

I've had my Macbook Pro for a few years now and whilst nothing was wrong with it apart from being sluggish over the years, I decided to refurbish it over purchasing a new one. Finding the right replacement RAM and Hard Drive to suit my Macbook was relatively easy on the iFixit website and they have the right tools, which makes repairs or upgrades so much more efficient.

The upgrade parts and tools from iFixit arrived within 10 days to Fiji and with the online downloadable guides from the iFixit website, everything was too easy. I think I was done in 15 mins. This is my second DIY with iFixit without any issues...Awesome.

I would only suggest you get every detail right with whatever you are trying to fix or replace before you order parts and everything should be ok.

The laptop had gotten so slow and full I had a hard time using it.

Tamirim

Everything went exactly to plan. I would have liked to saw something in the video about eliminating static. The description of which iFixit tool to use was very helpful helpful. This fix is well worth the effort and cost. It is a perfect first fix.

Computer was going a bit slow (in fact it was crashing all the time) because of fan problem mainly, I believe, but decided to upgrade ram whilst I was at it.

Tamirim

Very good. Fairly straight-forward; however, I had to attempt it twice as one of the ram sockets wasn't reading the first time. I switched 2 x 2GB ram for 2 x 4GB ram. Computer works very well now. It's running quicker and ram doesn't get overloaded unless I open too many tabs on safari, but I found a fix for that. I don't know if my computer is working better because of the ram upgrade or fan repair; I suspect it is because of both.

Follow the repair guide carefully and don't go all gung-ho.

The iMac was a mid-2010 i5 3.0GHz, not too shabby but was getting a bit long in the tooth for opening up Adobe programs and took forever when switching logged in users.

Tamirim

This was the second iMac I've done this on now, and the swap was simple and easy. I would say the 12.7mm SATA Optical Bay does not line up with the screw holes for the black optical drive holder very well. Both now that I've done did not match, and I've had to bust off a few of the plastic tabs to get the enclosure to fit in nicely. Not a huge deal but mildly annoying.

Leave the screen ribbon on the board and disconnect the screen side, the little tiny connector on the board with the metal clasp is a pain in the ass, especially if you have normal non 10-year old sized hands.

Bought a MacBook Pro early 2011, but getting slow with all the updates and software.

Tamirim

Changed the 2 x 2GB RAM Chip into 2 x 4 GB Ram Chip,

Made a FusionDrive - The 500GB HDD and the 128GB SSD made together the MacBook Pro 3 times faster...

in Allignment with a Clean install of OS X I have new computer for peanuts.

Önerim

know how to make the fusion drive, ask advise and if you have questions.. => internet

My computer had been steadily slowing down over the past year, to the point nothing could be run with Safari open in the background and even Safari ran slowly. So I needed to upgrade my paltry 2GB of RAM to something more substantial.

Tamirim

The repair went perfectly. Googling different tutorials, the Ifixit one was clear, had numerous helpful step-by-step images - and links to the specific tools and components I needed. So it was essentially a one-stop-shop for this fix and everything went well. As the person who is terrified of screwing up what should be simple fixes, I found this to be a great experience.

I will definitely be turning to Ifixit if I have any repair needs in the future!
