How to Upgrade Your MacBook Air


Remove screws. The internals of a MacBook Pro are accessed form the underside of the casing. The bottom is held in place by ten screws, including six 3 mm Phillips screws, two 5.4 mm Phillips screws, and two 7.9 mm Phillips screws.
Lift off the case. Once the screws are removed, the bottom of the MacBook Air case should come off easily, with a quick pull.
Disconnect the accessory ports. Your MacBook Air's current hard drive or solid state drive sits underneath the ribbon that connects your accessory USB, audio, power and DVI connectors. With the bottom of the case removed, unplug the ribbon that connects these accessories to the motherboard.
Remove hard drive screws. Once the accessory ports are disconnected form the board, remove the screws that hold the hard drive frame in place.
Lift the hard drive frame. Make sure that the ribbon that attaches the accessory ports is safely out of the way. If the path is clear, the hard drive and its frame can be lifted from the computer.
Replace hard drive. With the frame and hard drive out of the computer, the current drive can be slid out of the frame and a new one inserted. Original generation MacBook Air models use a zero insertion force (ZIF) connector, so make sure the hard drive or solid state drive you use has this type of connector. Models manufactured after the summer of 2009 feature a more common Serial ATA (SATA) connector. All MacBook Air hard drives or solid state drives must be 1.8 inches wide by 5 mm tall to fit in the frame.
Reassemble MacBook Air. Place the bracket back in the computer and secure it using using the removed screws. Reattach the ribbon connectors for the accessory ports. Replace the back of the computer and secure it with its 10 screws. Boot the computer and install Mac OS X, being sure to test functionality.

How to Restart From Apple Grey Screen


Attempt a basic restart. Press the 'Command,' 'Control' and 'Power' buttons simultaneously. Your computer should automatically restart unless completely frozen.
Hold down the 'Power' button for about 10 seconds to shut down the computer. Then press the 'Power' button again to start up the machine.
Disconnect any external devices and peripherals such as printers, scanners, external CD/DVD drives and other devices. Remove any Ethernet cables as well, and try restarting again. Sometimes a faulty peripheral will cause your startup to fail.
Shut down your computer again if you continue to see a gray screen on startup. This time, start up your computer again and immediately hold down the 'Shift' key to perform a safe boot. If your computer starts up successfully, try restarting to see if the safe boot resolved your problem.
Reset your paramater RAM and nonvolatile RAM. Shut down your computer, start it up again and immediately press and hold the 'Command,' 'Option,' 'P' and 'R' keys simultaneously. Make sure to press these keys before the gray screen appears. Release the keys when your computer starts up successfully.
Insert your Mac OS X installation disc into your CD/DVD drive and restart your computer. As soon as your computer screen begins the startup process, hold down the 'C' key on your keyboard to use your installation disc as a startup disc.

How to Fix a Computer Screen That Turned Grey


Look at the back of your monitor just below the socket for a voltage selector. Set the voltage appropriate to your country, if it isn't in the correct position already. For a monitor in USA, the voltage is 115 volts.
Check the display cable to make sure it is properly connected with the metal connector engulfing the display socket on the computer.
Disconnect the monitor's display cable and look at its pins. If any of them appear bent, straighten them out by disconnecting the power cable from your monitor and sticking a thin metal object next to the pin and levering the pin until it appears straight again.
Adjust the brightness and contrast knobs on the monitor. The settings may have been at minimum or maximum; adjusting the knobs will help return the settings back to an optimal position.

How to Calibrate Your MacBook Battery (4 Steps)


Plug in your MacBook and give it a full charge. You can tell if your MacBook is fully charged when the green LED light on your power adapter changes from amber to green. When the LED is Green, your battery is at full charge. Leave the MacBook plugged in and charging for an extra two hours past the point when the LED turns Green.
Run your battery down and discharge it completely. Disconnect the power adapter and use your Mac until the battery is fully discharged. You will see a low battery warning on your screen, but keep using your MacBook until the battery completely runs out and the machine puts itself to sleep.
Close the laptop lid and let your Mac sleep, without power connected, for at least 5 hours. Letting your MacBook rest overnight is a good rule of thumb.
After letting the computer rest for 5 hours or longer, plug in your MacBook to the power supply and leave it connected until the computer is fully charged. It’s OK to use your MacBook while the battery charges. When the charge is completed, you’ve successfully completed recalibration of your MacBook battery.
