    Help please! Macbook Pro 2011 has died?!

    Hi everyone! My Macbook Pro 17 2011 does not turn on - completely dead! It worked just fine until 2021. In 2021, I changed the battery in an authorized Apple service shop. When I went to collect the MBP, it did not turn on - dead. The Apple genius told me it was a "glitch", took it back to the...

We found a user at MacInTouch who had good...

    Upgrading RAM/SSD on MacBook Pro 2009

    Hi guys, With my 2014 MacBook Pro sitting at work more and spending less time at home, I'm beginning to consider upgrading my MacBook Pro 2009 for personal home use. It's still perfectly usable, but having been spoilt by the speeds in the 2014 model, I feel like I need to upgrade some internal...

    PC3 8500 ram in '07 17" 2.4ghz macbook pro core2duo?

    Would a PC3 8500 ram card work in my mid 2007 17" 2.4ghz macbook pro core2duo? I realize apple specs call for pc2 5300 on the apple site but I'm hoping the pc3 8500 might operate anyways...maybe just not 'officially' to apples specs at the time. I've read that you can get a couple extra gigs of...
