Operate On Your Macbook
You basically need a quarter and a screwdriver to replace your ram and hard drive, but what if you have an intimate desire to explore the anatomy of your Macbook? What if you have an uncontrollable urge to convert your ironing board into an operating table so you can delicately remove the LCD screen and lubricate the joints of that squeaky hinge? Maybe your new found love is suffering from RSS (Random Shutdown Syndrome) and diagnosing it yourself (by checking if the cables from the thermal sensors were melted in the heat sink) is something that appeals to your inner-surgeon!?
Do you need a PHD? That would help! However, you could try these two simple steps to get you started in the right direction:
- Connect to the Internet (which you seem to have already accomplished)
- Read the iFixit Macbook Guide!
