Removing / Replacing Memory...
Underneath the battery cover, you will get
your first look at the main logic board (MLB
for short). There will be two RAM slots.
Depending on the configuration you chose
when ordering your MacBook Pro, one or
both of these slots may have memory mod-
ules already installed. To remove the mod-
ules, you should see metal clasps on each
side. Gently push those away to the sides
and that should unlock that memory mod-
ule. Usually it will slightly pop up after being
successful. You can then slide out the
RAM. Most RAM will have a sticker denot-
ing how much memory the chip is. You can
have any combination of any two memory
modules as long as they are the compatible
type. The MacBook Pro uses DDR2
PC5300 SODIMM memory modules. The
Powerbookmedic.com online store currently
sells both 512 MB and 1 GB memory mod-
ules for the MacBook Pro 15-inch. To rein-
stall the memory, just slide it in the appro-
priate slot horizontally. Usually it works best
if you are installing it in a 15-20 degree an-
gle. Once the memory module is making
good contact within the slot, you can gently
press down on the module until it pops in place
around the clasps. If this is all that you needed
to replace on your MacBook Pro, you can screw
back in the memory bay cover.
Maximum Memory:
You can currently install two
1GB memory modules in your
MacBook Pro giving you a total
of 2GB in your machine.
Removing the Top Case...
There are several more screws that hold
on the top case including the two you have al-
ready removed from the battery bay. The left
and right side have four screws each, and the
rear has two screws. (You can see these in the
images to the left.) All of these screws have the
polished heads which denote being external
screws. It is best to group these in a separate
pile in order to insure you do not confuse them
with any of the internal screws. Some of these
screws may work inside somewhere, but when
you get near the end of the repair and only have
the ugly screws remaining you will want to go
back in.

SIDE SCREWS
Top Case Screws
All of the top case screws
are Phillips head screws
with polished heads. There
will be four on each side,
two in the battery bay, and
two on the back. The nine
screws on the bottom will
also need to be removed.
