I am afraid to do this shit again on a laptop and Apple refuses to touch anything 3rd party yet they want to rape you if you buy the RAM from them. Crucial RAM for this model is 50 bucks. Apple wants 400. Fuck you Apple.
i dont get the point in upgrading ram on a mac book 4 gigs is like having a pc with 8 gigs due to the extreme efficiency of osx id say 6gigs is probably the most you will ever need from a mac b4 the physical hardware becomes completely obsolete.
Done RAM changes quite a few times (Though this is an old video soi'm sure you have by now too :P). Just to say - Make sure you take the battery out too. Power will still be going through so you can shock yourself and the ram and kinda mess it up before even starting (Done that once... heh. woops).
I would keep the RAM aside (the one which you take out your macbook) - just incase if you ever need to take it into the apple store, you can always shove it in if need be. But yeah, it wont void your warranty.
I've only used Kingston RAM, but I've never had any issues with it, so I'm going to keep using it! DELL use Kingston for upgrades, which again suggests Kingston is quality.
PUPPETPLANT - I was also going to say that, your usually suppose to be touching a piece of metal when you mess with the inside of the comupter so that you don't have any static on your hands. Also laying the old ram on the plastic just like that is a no no...
lol i guess a bit to late for the advice heh :D. Will keep in mind for future though, thanks for sharing. ive done the same procedure AGES ago on Windows PC's (im talking 5-6 years ago).

not good idea to use magnetic screwdriver on a magnetic sensitive hardware:-s

@TheMRamstaff It's powerful enough to screw something up?
Gabumon54321 1 year ago
@TheMRamstaff I agree 100%......also you should have pulled the battery out before you installed the ram. just in case.
For me I only use corsair and Western Digital and Logitech.

You need to be careful with ram, static on your hands can break the ram chips.
