Geek Squad, We were flying under the radar upgrading Macbook RAM, until one day we became officially Apple Authorized to fix iPhones, which means we were no longer allowed to upgrade Macbook RAM since the Macbooks were older and considered "obsolete" by apple, meaning we were unable to repair or upgrade the hardware the customer paid for, simply because apple said it was "too old". it was at this point in my customer interaction, that we recommend a repair shop down the road that isn't held at gunpoint by apple ;)
Isn't the ram soldered? Is it too hard to upgrade?
if you have a hot air desoldering station it shouldn't be too hard. but it's a tool that most people aren't going to have on hand.
You used to be able to just pop it out and swap. Those were the days
Not for some models at the time, we also did SSD upgrades which we werent allowed to do. Even more ridiculous
