  1. Remplacement de la mémoire RAM du MacBook Pro 13" Unibody mi-2010, Retirer les vis du boîtier inférieur: étape 1, image 1 de 1
    • Retirez les 10 vis suivantes par lesquelles est fixé le boîtier inférieur du MacBook Pro 13" Unibody :

    • Sept vis Phillips 3 mm.

    • Trois vis Phillips 13,5 mm.

    Compare the short screws carefully before reinstalling them. The shouldered screws go in the holes on the front edge.

    Before I started removing any screws I took a piece of paper and drew the bottom of the laptop and put a piece of double-sided tape in the spot where each screw goes. That way when I took out the screws, I could put them on the tape so I knew exactly which screw went in which spot. I did the same thing for dismantling the inside on another sheet of paper, then a third sheet for the screen after getting the front glass off.

    I use a similar technique: I print out the iFixit manual for the job, and Scotch-tape down the screws/brackets/cables I remove at each step next to the component descriptions. That way, when I'm reassembling, the bits are taped right next to the photo of where they came from.

    That's exactly what I do for all my repairs! It's the best way to keep track of all of the parts ' original location and to make sure that you don't miss any parts during reassembly.

    Great idea and one I use often

    Excellent idea! Thanks for sharing it here.

    I used a 00 that fit but the screws were very tight so I used a tiny paintbrush with some wd40 on it and put it around the edges of the screws. Worked like a charm

    I use a magnetic mat and place the screws in order on that :)

  2. Remplacement de la mémoire RAM du MacBook Pro 13" Unibody mi-2010, Soulever le boîtier inférieur: étape 2, image 1 de 1
    • Soulevez légèrement le boîtier inférieur et poussez-le vers l'arrière de l'ordinateur afin de désengager les pattes de fixation.

    In the introduction you should link fixers to this excellent doc: https://www.ifixit.com/Misc/HD_Software_...

    It is really critical, super easy, and free(!) to clone your existing drive onto the new one you will install. I ran into one error, but SuperDuper! support replied immediately on how to fix it...Thanks ifixit and SuperDuper! (I ponied up the $28 for the software anyway, I was so impressed!)

    Long story short: I drank the AppleKoolAid back in 1984 and have always left the guts of my machines up to Apple - until recently when I needed to swap the SATAs from my original MacDaddy (2009 13" MBPro that I killed in 2018 - coffee + blackout = OOOOPS) into a pristine 2009 MBPro from a Goodwill in North Carolina through eBay. I need the files from iCal and MacMail that can't be opened in my newer machines.

    Well . . . I ain't never done nuttin' like that, before!

    Enter Luke Miani on YouTube. He raves about you guys! So, I watched everything I could, read your site, bought the right tools and at the ripe old age of 72, I sat down, this morning and did the work. Now my original MacDaddy lives in MacDaddy2.0.

    Am I allowed to cry?

    Seriously, I can't thank you enough for your bitchen site and killer tools. I wish I'd'a been turned on to this shizzle 30+ years ago.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

    That was a brilliant read.

    Yes, I came across ifixit a few years ago. Totally helped me out on several occasions.

    Glad your Mac repair journey worked out.

  3. Remplacement de la mémoire RAM du MacBook Pro 13" Unibody mi-2010, Batterie: étape 3, image 1 de 1
    • À titre de précaution, nous vous conseillons de débrancher le connecteur de la batterie de la carte mère afin d'éviter les décharges électriques.

    • À l'aide de l'extrémité plate d'un spudger, faites levier sur le connecteur de la batterie pour le débrancher de la prise sur la carte mère.

    Citation de gansodesoya :

    why is step 3 necessary?

    Just to disconnect any power source to avoid damages by short-circuits.

    MrKane - Réponse

    How do you get that battery connector back on? Do you just press it in back in place after you're done?

    Horace Chung - Réponse

    yes. I usually plug it in before I screw it down so I can lift the battery a bit and have enough slack to be able to go straight down on the connector, otherwise it comes in on a bit of an angle, which can't be good (though not necessarily bad).

    maccentric -

    This step almost finished me, and I did extensive damage to the battery plug. Fortunately, I later replaced the battery, and the replacement came with a new plug! :) Newbies need to know - 1. The battery plug is like a thin lip on a thicker lip, so you need to pry BETWEEN 2 thin lips to get it off, else you are trying to yank out the socket. 2. Mine was initially VERY tight, and trying to get it out broke the plastic on all sides of plug, even though I was as careful as possible. Luckily, this didn't hurt functionality and I later replaced the battery. AFTER disconnecting once, it was never so tight again,

  4. Remplacement de la mémoire RAM du MacBook Pro 13" Unibody mi-2010, RAM: étape 4, image 1 de 1
    • Écartez les deux clips de la RAM, de chaque côté du module afin de les libérer.

    • Ces clips maintiennent le module en place et lorsque vous les écartez, le module se soulève.

  5. Remplacement de la mémoire RAM du MacBook Pro 13" Unibody mi-2010: étape 5, image 1 de 1
    • Saisissez le module de RAM par les côtés et sortez-le de son emplacement en le levant bien droit.

    • Répétez l'opération si un second module de RAM est installé.

    Do this step slowly! Depending on the age of the components, both ram and the system board, removing and inserting RAM can actually break threads on the board that read and write info to the ram sticks. It should be very easy to remove the ram. If it seems hard to remove, stop and make sure you have followed all the steps correctly!

Hello,

Please answer this question. Today i purchase Macbook Pro core2duo model: A1278 year: 2010 Laptop and i found the ram is 2gb DDR3 1333mhz bus speed.

So will 1333mhz bus speed support my macbook or it will crash randomly ? or i should buy another ram of 1066mhz bus speed.

Thanks.

Muhammad Talha - Réponse

The front side buss speed is 1066mhz so that the speed the board talks to everything including memory, it can't talk any faster so putting 1333mhz will run at 1066mhz. So I would go with 1066mhz and save your money. If you also make sure you firmware for the board is up-to-date and you are running latest OS it can take you should've able to run 16GB ram, even if apple say it only supports 8GB. If you get the correct ram you can run 16GB that's what I have in mine running high Sierra. In have same system as you. You may also want to think about adding a solid state drive in place of the drive that's in with will probably be a mechanical drive. Believe me you will seen the difference in speed when the system starts up etc.

Gordon -

Be careful ! according to different other customers experience (read ifixit forum) and my own, it might be a hit or a miss.

I tried the upgrade to 16gb, no matter where or which one of the 8gb ram module is place, the Mac doesn’t want to recognize more than one module at a time, so I ended with 8+2=10gb , which is still an upgrade but deceiving money wise.

Sebastien CHAPUIS - Réponse

Which MHz speed do your 8 GB modules have? If both are faster then 1333 then the Mac will not startup. I can combine a original 2 GB 1066MHz module with a 8GB 1600MHz to 10GB then the older module decides the speed and it works. But if both are the 1600MHz then the bios will not boot and I get an error signal. Will see if it could be cheaper to just get one 8GB module with 1066 or 1333 that forces the 1600 to work at lower speed.

Hi Sebastien,

My machine had similar symptoms. See my comment below. GL!

Today I did my first repairs on my MacBook Pro 2010. I replaced feet, battery and upgraded both RAM chips from 2GB each to 8GB each. The only issue was that it wouldn’t turn on. :( After a little bit of panic and self doubt as to why I would ever consider doing this, I back tracked a bit. I uninstalled both Rams and put my old back in. My computer worked fine. Then I just tried each new and old, in combination, to find the culprit. Turns out that one of the new chips must be defective.

I am a happy girl! I sincerely thank you all for posting your videos ,comments and especially your mistakes. They give me courage and inspiration to forge ahead on this wonderful road of repair! Thank you iFixit and Right to Repair!

I had a similar issue others have described wherein the machine (MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2010) would recognize either of the new IFixIt sticks in either position when paired with either of the OEM sticks (8 permutations tested, LOL), but not both new sticks paired together. OSX, SMC, EFI and associated firmware appeared up-to-date. Purchased a different set of 2x8GB sticks from a competitor and they worked like a charm. Noticeable performance increase from factory 4GB and from 10GB hybrid. To their credit, IFixIt accepted my return without question despite being well past their standard 30-day policy. Very happy with them, and will continue to give them my business.

FWIW, new (working) RAM appears identical, spec-wise: 2x8GB PC3-8500 1066MHz. Timings are printed 7-7-7-20. Couldn’t find timing noted on IFixIt RAM. I wouldn’t think a difference would matter… maybe the IFixIt memory wasn’t compatible with the controller in some way. Anyway, a potential solution to try.

I bought 2 8gb ddr3 pc3-8500 1066mhz 204 pin ram sticks. My mac is the mid 2010 core duo version with updated 10.13 os highsierra so i would expect the ram to load and the mac to boot, but it didn't. It beeped 3 times. I reset the pram and reloaded the original ram and it works like it did. I'm wondering if something is wrong with the new ram or if it might be necessary to reset the scm(?) too? There seems to be small differences in the new ram versus the old aswell, worthy of note.

Chris Martindale - Réponse

I tried several ram memory replacements for this mac model even the ones recommended by Apple. But whenever I tried to start the computer just beeped giving the cannot recognize ram memory sound. Any ideas what went wrong?

I have already upgraded my MBP-13-Mid 2010 w/RAM & SSD and running HiSierra but I fear it won't run much longer as I'm capped@10.13.6. Are there any external plug-ins that will extend it's functional life? I also have 2 MBPs Mid 2012 that will have the same problem soon enough😰 Very good devices w/lots of Ports & "I-fix-it" capability‼️ Thx. for any advice or tips. Ed

Just upgraded to 16GB ram on my mid-2010 Macbook Pro. It's definitely notably quicker, during both start-up and use.

I didn't have any trouble getting the computer to recognize the new memory because it's running Debian.

The only moment of panic during the upgrade was a bit of trouble getting the lower ram out, but with some careful, patient spludging it eventually popped out.
