How to Upgrade Macbook With SSD (8 Steps)


Shut the MacBook down completely. Remove the power cable and all external hardware, and flip the computer over so that the bottom faces up. You may wish to put the MacBook on a soft cloth to protect the finish on the lid.
Unscrew the eight Phillips-head screws holding the rubberized plate to the bottom of the MacBook. Starting from the back of the computer, gently pry the plate away from the computer, being careful not to bend the metal.
Disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard. The cable is located near the upper-right corner of the battery pack. Use a non-conductive tool to pry the cable if needed.
Unscrew the two Phillips-head screws on the ends of the black strip between the MacBook hard drive and RAM. This strip secures the hard drive to the body of the computer. Lift the strip away from the MacBook and set it aside.
Use the clear plastic pull tab to lift the MacBook hard drive out of the computer. Stop lifting when you can access the cable connector on the end of the hard drive.
Rock the cable connector gently to remove it from the back of the MacBook hard drive. Leave the other end of the cable connected to the motherboard.
Unscrew the four Torx screws from the sides of the old MacBook hard drive, and transfer the screws to the SSD.
Install the MacBook SSD by reversing the steps in this article.

How to Clean a MacBook Trackpad Button


Lightly dampen a piece of cloth with some plain water.
Wipe down your MacBook's trackpad with the cloth. Use broad strokes to ensure that you're catching as much grease and grime as possible.
Continue wiping until no discernable grease can be seen on the trackpad.
Take your paper or similarly thin wedge and work it gently into the perimeter of the MacBook's trackpad. If your MacBook doesn't feature a rubberized plastic bottom, run the wedge between the trackpad's mouse buttons. Newer MacBooks feature the same single trackpad-mouse button that's used on the MacBook Pro line of computers, but older models utilize a dedicated mouse button.
Continue running this wedge around the perimeter of the MacBook's trackpad and in between the mouse buttons, if your model features them. Your goal is to dislodge any crumbs or grime that has collected between the computer and trackpad. Brush aside any removed dirt to finish the cleaning process.
