To prevent potential damage from anti-static electricity, you should discharge yourself first.
This can be done by simply touching a grounded metal object, such as a radiator.
Installation Process 1 – Make sure the MacBook is
completely shut down and
switched off. Disconnect any
cables.
2 – Remove the 10 screws securing
the lower case in place:
3 x 13.5mm Philips
7 x 3mm Philips
3 – Wedge your fingers between
the lower case and the vent. Lift
upward to release the clips and
remove the case.
Please visit mrmemory.co.uk for guides on cloning your
new SSD. This guide is for physical installation only.
4 – If present, grab the plastic tab
attached to the battery connector
and pull it toward the front of the
device. For Late 2011 models, the
battery connector will not have a tab
– it’s simply a plug that inserts
straight down into the motherboard.
5 – Remove the 2 Philips screws
securing the hard drive bracket to
the upper case.
6 – Remove the hard drive bracket
from the upper case.
7 – Use the hard drive’s pull tab to
lift it out of its upper case. Don’t try
to completely remove the hard drive
yet, as the cable is still connected.
8 – Pull the hard drive connector
away from the body of the hard
drive.
9 – Remove the 4 T6 Torx screws
around the outer edge of the hard
drive. Peel off the plastic pull tab
and transfer it to your new SSD.
10 – To install your new SSD, follow
the steps above in reverse order.
