Also dont forget to calibrate the battery. Fully charge it with power. Then take the cord off and let it drain. Turn all the power settings to not shut down while draining battery. Let dead computer sit for a bout five hours and then charge back up. Readjust power settings.

Dude, I just spent 2-3 hours figuring out a way to erase my SSD without buying a SATA to USB adapter, you just saved me money and helped me solve this problem. I usually don’t comment on videos but mad props to you homie. 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Always disconnect the battery first. Even dead.

I got a MacBook Pro mid 2009 as a gift form a friend, installed a PNY 480 SSD, OS X El Capitán and fully updated it, I'm waiting to install a new battery and increase memory up to 8GB. Is working nicely with MS Office 2011 and Logos Bible software 8.

thanks dude - just upgraded Mid 2010 13" MBP to 2TB SSD & 16GB RAM - awesome....makes such a difference. Ended up using Time Machine backup to restore Mac OS, and whilst probs not the most efficient way to go about it, a small price to pay for insane speed now. Followed both your RAM & SSD upgrade videos....works like a charm! Thanks heaps dude - very helpful

doing all of this on a carpet... static heaven

Installs ram and a solid-state drive proceeds to test hardware by using Internet software to watch a video

Thanks to your helpful tutorial I just upgraded my 2010 MacBook Pro!! It’s was super quick & simple to follow!! You saved me a TON of money!! Many thanks for helping me restore my laptop💜

Really good video but yes like the other bloke said disconnect battery first. Great footage. Good lighting. To the point and clear. Really nice dude thanks 🙏!

One of the reasons I decided to upgrade my 2011 instead of buying a new one is because I just can’t get into laptops without cd/dvd drives and multiple ports.

1. Open the back cover with the right screwdriver and remember the screws positions 2. Disconnect the motherfucking battery before doing anything else 3. Keep pressed the power button for 30 sec to release residual energy (not many people do that) 4. Replace all the things u need to replace, be very careful with dem bitches connectors and flat, if u fuck one of dem up u're fucked too 5. Reconnect everything 6. Enjoy this bitch ass almost new Mac

u saved my life.i did the ssd and ram upgrade and its the best decision ever.thanks a bunch!!

I upgraded my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8 gigs of RAM (up from 4 gigs), and a Samsung EVO 500 gig SSD hard drive (replacing the stock 7200 RPM drive). I haven't noticed a real performance improvement EXCEPT the boot time is about half what it used to be. The Mac runs great except for kernel panic crashes which happen constantly.

I upgraded my Mid 2010 macbook to a 250GB SSD and 16GB of Ram. It's also running High Sierra and is just as fast as my wife's new Macbook.

Superb ... Next week going to purchase mid 2011 used laptop....nd going to update with similar way you had done ....u r video will help me a lot .... thank you so much for uploading such a good informative video

you can also upgrade 2011 macbooks to a mid 2012 logic board which gives you ivy bridge vs sandy bridge. and also adds usb 3.0. so a 2011 macbook pro can end being up graded to 2012 macbook pro logic board before 2011 macbook pro intel i5 intel 3000 hd graphics 500 5400 rpm hd 4gb ram usb 2.0 after 2012 macbook pro logic board intel i7 cpu intel 4000 hd graphics 500 ssd 16gb ram usb 3.0 pretty much a different computer i bet it will run like a completely different computer too.

i did this but with 16gb of corsair mem, new battery, and a samsung evo 860 550gb

I was thinking about buying a new macbook, buuut! I found this video and damn! I definitely gonna buy a SSD

Awesome video every step clear and straight to the point thank you bro I’m about to fix up my MacBook Pro right now

Idk why these hardware upgrade videos are so satisfying

This dude is on the FLOOR. Any static electricity can ruin the motherboard.

Your MacBook Pro is the same as mine! And freaking slow already😩 gonna try this for sure👍🏻 thanks man👍🏻👌

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro 13” mid 2012 with 16gb ram (2x8) and 240 gb SSD and still have installed 500gb HHD, run like hell

and that's one vid that shows you that you don't need to get the best macbook and you can find that macbook wiht working battery for like 300$$$ they worth the price

Just saw this, and I regret selling my macbook pro mid 2010 in for the bloody cheap price!!!

Bro you got me 😂😂 I’m fasting, it’s 1 am, and during quarantine. That burrito though.

This guy is having way too much fun

You should have calibrated your new battery for best result.

Don’t forget to set the Trimm afterwards!

I love the impromptu burrito ditty. Siri responded: “Hamburger? You just ate an entire juicy burrito, and didn’t offer me a bite. Why should I tell you anything?”

God bless you, im literally in this boat!!! I have to do all this shit myself. I cannot afford a new ocmputer

If you don’t ground yourself jou could fried you logicboard especially if your doing it on a carpet. And always unplug the battery first

Nice upgrade men, good video and tasty burrito to, hello from Chile.

Nice man. Same like mine. Faster than before. Salam from Indonesia.

Hey. your video really helped me!! thank you

damn dem video editing skills son!

Okay question. If you don't load Sierra (or Mojave, the newest one) onto a zip drive, will the OS download from the internet? Or do you have to have it on a drive to get it to install?

Hey how can I know what hard drive will be compatible with my MacBook Pro (mid 2010) to do the upgrade with the SSD

Great tutorial video!" First time viewer. Subscribed.

“SSD hard drive” what are you on about

Can you do the same on a mid 2009 macbook pro 13"? I don't want to shell out the $ for a new computer if I don't really have to. I just installed 8GB ram and I want to install a new hard drive so I can upgrade to Sierra. My battery is still good. Thank you.

So after an year of upgrading the shown configuration........how is your experience......would suggest an upgrade now? P.S. I have Macbook 13" 2012, planning on upgrading to 1tb ssd and 16gb ram

Super Video ! Kameramovement great, can see everything clear you did - and you are funny . 3 Thumbs up !!

Shoud have taken out the long screws first on the back cover. Then remove cover, then the battery. Drive replacement and RAM replacement then are safe. Static electricity from carpet could have really been an issue. If you are going to put these out, know that folks who see it are looking at it as a resource. This would be a very poor resource for someone with limited knowledge trying to do this...

Amazing.You put this so simply. I will be upgrading in a week. At the end when you said "Hey Siri" My iPhone X picked your voice Siri was ON. That was funny and also scared me for a moment ;)

Damn i have the same exact MacBook and all the tools to do it but doesn’t have the money to buy the components

man your vid is really funny and packed with info

Asking for advice on upgrading my Macbook Pro mid 2012 So I recently started using my gf macbook and using both mac and windows 10, i love the fact that I can use both, tbh I don't want to upgrade it and keep it if i cant use Bootcamp on it. Here's what I want to do: I want to install a 1tb sdd on the main disk, and then put the old disk instead of the optical reader with a caddy, and install 16gb of RAM, then install Mojave from an usb (im currently using El Capitan and I want the dark theme) My questions are: 1. Can I install a bootcamp partition without any issues on the ssd? 2 . Can I format the old disk (with my current ios and bootcamp) to use it as a normal drive inside 3. Is it hard to install Mojave from an usb, from scratch? 4. Is it better to clone my existing drive to the ssd and then extend the disk partitions? 5. What kind of things I need to avoid in order to succeed? 6. Do I need to erase all my accounts so I dont get blocked from using the macbook from 0 (installing Mojave) Thank you so much if you read all of this, hoping for some info

My macbook pro 2011 supports 16 GB DDR3 ram

Can I make this upgrade on a MacBook pro 15" late 2010 ,(new SSD and memory?)

Un lifting rápido y no muy complicado , felicidades

Good job 👍

Thank you for helping me . This is awesome

HAPPY New decade! Hi J. Very well explained and shot. I want to do it for my 2011 MacBook. It's January 1st, 2020 today ! ! If you were to do the same procedure today would you recommend the same brands or others? Which ones?

Ssd to small. 500gb is the lowest anyone should get. $67 for Crucial MX500 and $72 for Samsung 860 evo.

Is everyone going to ignore the fact that he is saying solid state hard drive? Jesus

hey man, i have a mac book pro 2010. can i upgrade it with ssd ? thx before..

Damn you made my Siri go off both times

I’ve tried to do the same thing but cannot make a boot drive !!

Didn’t know how to take the back cover off but knows how to replace the hd battery and memory 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Still work in 2018! 6-21-2018.

Damn that burrito looks good af

I know you replaced your battery , every since how is the heat ? Like keeping your laptop cool ? And how’s the batter life now cause it’s 2020 hopefully you Answer ! Thanks

Thank u i needed this☺️

Awsome video, thanks dude

Thanks!! Funny Guy, with the Burito 'bit'. Question? Can you Have 2 Different OS on Different Drives? If 'needed'? Some older softer might not work with Newer OS, and is why I've held off for a long time. I have a 2012 MacBook Pro, with OS X 10.9.5, but Need to Upgrade to Latest for some New DAW Software. Don't want to Lose ability to use older version Programs, DAW, and Screenplay Writing Software.

I know it’s faster but y lower hard drive size increase it man!

Dude, if the old HDD was 320GB and your new SSD is 250GB ; shouldn't you be putting in a larger capacity SSD? Maybe a 500GB or even 1T ?

That laptop supports 1600mhz memory...I just upgraded mine to 16gb 1600mhz memory and a 500gb SSD...I need a battery too.

One more thing when take out old battery have to wait least 12 hours to give the capacitor to clear up which I don’t that part of the technology?

Great job!

Hi J on street your link to corsair memory card is incorrect, did not works on my macbook pro 2009

Hey bro i have macbook air 2018 and suddenly screen become black only sound come but display lights black any sol

My dude, have you never run your socks across the carpet and shocked someone? That’s a static electrical nightmare. 😩

hi Freind ! how can we restore macbook Air. A1370 emc, can you please make video on it..

I have a hard to make decision in buying macbook pro. Do you think it's God to use MacBook pro 201q in 2018? Is there any problem with using it? I saw they upgraded macbook pro 2011 to 8GB ram, 1T SSD, Cori7.

thanks

Can you do a video of you putting the second ssd card in

camera not connected any solution for this -late 2011 model mac book pro in high serra

Hello buddy. I have a macbook pro. i want to do the same upgrade as you did. How much did you pay for all the hardware?

So how much did all of that cost you? And is it honestly worth the money to upgrade it?

Hey! Great video! Can you put the link for which screwdrivers you used? Also, there seems to be a special five-point screwdriver necessary, could you please provide the link for that?

very helpful. thankyou !

Currently attempted this today with the result of my macbook pro not even turning on. When I went to plug it in to charge the orange light never came on. Any suggestions?

Yo u should do a benchmark

What if we bypass the USB data clone. Will the computer reset to factory OS default and then you need to simply upgrade OS through the app store?

I just replaced my had on 2007 iMac and my elcapitan. Backup won't install

Dude how did you get ur phone on ur laptop. At the end of ur this video. Thank man

Why dont you just upgrade the ram to 16gb 1600mhz why choose only 8gb 1333mhz you will see a major difference

Upgrading my laptop with a 1TB Samsung SSD today! Let’s see how it goes :)

Hi brother I bought WD SSD and installed but it’s not getting recognised in disk utility. Please help to fix it.

Great video! Question: I have the iOS install and running smoothly. If I remove this ssd 2.5” and use it as an external ssd drive on my newer MacBook Air 11 inch with better video card will that work as another iOS drive? My video card on my 2010 MacBook Pro is bad.

Does anyone have a problem with pressing the bottom of the case and it shutting off the laptop instantly? How is this fixed? I'm thinking of some type of insulator between the case and motherboard.

The ssd is not a hard drive

why did apple had to glue the battery on the newer macbooks

Nice Misfits shirt!

I have a MacBook Pro 2011. I noticed this is running very slow and freezing a lot. I haven't been use it a few years. Should I buy parts to upgrade after turn on it? is it ok?

okay tbh my favorite part was *" dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, in my belly.. here you go.. "*

Mine (early 2011) is running Ventura on 16gb ram and SSD, No issues.

Not too bad , good video.
