A Samuel of Manuals
Hi! I’m Sam and I am a technical writer at iFixit.
I was raised in Lakeport, California where I grew up jumping bikes, shooting photos, and playing guitar. Not much has changed since then (except maybe the growing up part).
The first thing I learned to fix was my bike. Flats, broken chains, wobbling wheels, and snapped cables were common occurrences. The shop was too expensive for a kid so I had to learn how to maintain and repair my bike to keep it riding the way I wanted—perfectly.
Repairs were often difficult at first but always got easier. Since then I have preferred to repair my own belongings using iFixit, YouTube, friends, and forums to guide me. I love the feeling of accomplishment and independence I get out of maintaining and repairing my belongings.
Writing guides for iFixit enables me to empower anyone fix their own stuff. My mission is to provide information, guidance, and confidence to everyone who is motivated to save money, reduce consumption, and learn new skills that can translate to all other areas of life.
That should work. If not, use this guide to install a new operating system onto the old SSD, then use Time Machine to restore your data.
You shouldn’t have any problem using your old SSD in another computer, just follow the SSD replacement guide for whichever laptop you are installing it into.
You should connect the old SSD externally and transfer any important data onto a backup drive first. Then follow this guide to install a new operating system onto the old SSD.
Hi James,
Follow these steps to calibrate your new battery: https://help.ifixit.com/article/265-batt...
Our parts are tested by our parts testing department and come with a warranty. If anything you buy from us does not work, customer service will make it right.

We’re glad it works! In the future, we recommend following our guides. We always instruct to disconnect the battery as soon as possible during upgrades or repairs to prevent damage.
I can’t be certain but it could be coil whine. See if it sounds like this. If it is in fact coil whine the best you can do is reinstall the RAM and see if that fixes it. If not, request a replacement from customer service and see if that fixes it. Good luck!
Bien fait! Vous avez un bon ordinateur.
Way to go! I use the 15” version of this machine at work with 16GB ram and a SSD. It’s nine years old and still truckin’!
16GB in the 2 X 8GB configuration is the maximum supported, and it’s worth it if you’re using Garage Band, iMovie, Photoshop, etc…
Either 2 X 4GB or 1 X 8GB will work, but not one of each. Whenever you install multiple RAM sticks in a machine they should be exactly the same manufacturer and model. So if you wanted to upgrade from 4GB to 8GB you should either buy another identical 4GB stick and install it alongside the original, or remove the original and buy either two new 4GB sticks or one 8GB stick. Either choice will effectively provide the same result. Hope this helps!
