Einleitung
Beim Ersetzen der Festplatte müssen die Torx Schrauben, die eingebaut waren, mit der neuen Festplatte weiter genutzt werden.
-
-
Hebe die untere Abdeckung vorsichtig in der Nähe der Lüftungsöffnung an.
-
Öffne den Spalt weiter mit den Fingern, bis sich die Abdeckung von den verbleibenden Clips löst.
-
-
-
Hebe den Akkuanschluss mit dem flachen Ende des Spudgers aus seinem Sockel auf dem Logic Board.
-
-
-
Entferne die beiden 11 mm Kreuzschlitzschrauben, welche die Festplattenhalterung am oberen Gehäuse befestigen.
-
-
-
Hebe die Halterung aus dem oberen Gehäuse.
-
Wenn du später nach dem Austausch der Festplatte die Halterung wieder einbaust, sollte das sehr leicht gehen. Wenn sie sich nicht leicht einsetzen lässt, dann kannst du sie umdrehen und es erneut probieren.
-
-
-
Hebe die Festplatte an ihrer Zuglasche heraus und ziehe sie weg vom oberen Gehäuse. Achte darauf, dass sie immer noch mit einem Kabel am Logic Board angeschlossen ist.
-
-
-
Entferne die zwei Torx T6 Schrauben von den zwei Seiten der Festplatte (4 Schrauben insgesamt).
-
Um eine neue Festplatte einzubauen, folge den Anweisungen in umgekehrter Reihenfolge.

awesome guide! This really made it so easy to figure out exactly what I was doing. The large, sharp pictures really made me feel confident that I was doing everything properly. Thanks!

can i install an ssd instead of a normal hd?
Yes, absolutely. I switched mine out with a Kingston 120GB SSD.
According to this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1651?viewl..., the 8 screws are not identical.
Can anybody tell me where each kind of screw is supposed to go?

They are all 100% Identical. You were probably looking at a different model, or Apple has entered the wrong information... Hey, It happens...

The screws on the Late 2009 are identical. The blue lock compound might make tightening some require a little more effort.

The A1342 will take up to 16 GB of RAM, however, there are only two RAM slots, so use two 8-GB RAM modules. Other World Computing (OWC) is a great reference source for info on exactly which RAM to use with which model; prices are usually much better on EBay though. Add an SSD from OWC and your machine will really scream!
I hope that helps!

Gregoire is right. The 8 screws are absolutely NOT identical, I’m looking at them right now, weeowey weeowey.

I just wanted to say that, in 2020, i used these instructions to replace the magsafe socket on my A1286, mid-2012, pre-Retina MacBook Pro. The internal layout is not quite the same but close enough for me to do the job. I skipped the steps of fully disconnecting the fans and speakers because of what others had said about breaking the sockets. it just meant I had to be extremely careful when lifting up the main board so that I did not tear and break the connections. I was able to disconnect the old magsafe socket with the board flat and in situ, but there was no where near enough room to be able to aline and press home the new par home. Reluctantly i had to lever up the board. This was difficult as there is a tapped post that holds a screw in the way close to where the USB sockets are, that prevented the board lifting up and out. I had to be quite forceful to manouevre the sockets out from the edge of the case.
