Step 1
– Unscrew and remove the 10 screws that are holding the lower case of your MacBook Pro 13″ Unibody in place. You’ve got this!
Step 2
– Gently raise the lower case and slide it back towards the rear of your device to release those sneaky mounting tabs.
Step 3
Just a little heads-up! To keep things safe and sound, it’s a good idea to unplug the battery connector from the logic board. This way, you can steer clear of any unexpected electrical surprises.
– Gently use the flat end of a spudger to nudge the battery connector up and out of its cozy little home on the logic board. You’ve got this!

Step 4
These tabs keep the chip snug and secure, and when you let them go, the chip will joyfully spring up!
– Gently press the tabs on either side of the chip, nudging them away from the RAM at the same time. It’s a little dance move that helps free up your RAM!
Step 5
If you’ve got a second RAM chip hanging around, just repeat this process to make sure everything’s running smoothly!
– Once the RAM chip has popped up, simply give it a gentle tug and pull it straight out of its socket.
