Why A1708 is the toughest to perform RAM upgrade?
- Apple likes to put black underfill on this a1708 that makes everything hard: from RAM removal process to New RAM installation(note that we need to scrape off underfill around the perimeter of RAM chips, and remove the RAM using razor blade instead of normal tweezers like other models.)
- You need to clean all the underfill(risk of missing pad and knocking off other components) before putting new RAM chips. Using Black Glue Remover does little effect to it.
- A1708 has RAM chips on both sides, 2 chips on top side, 2 chips on bottom side. So we cant install all 4 chips simultaneously like any other Macs.

I used to solder boards at an assembly job. It is not easy to solder mini parts. But if you have not done couple years of soldering, it is easy to burn things up. And the solder joints can be brittle if too much heat. Not enough heat will cause easy disjoint.

Also it's fking sad, because all this super hard work could be avoided by just making swappable memory sticks. Think about it before buying a mac.
