    Hi, need some advise from you experts.

    I have the older MacBook Unibody 13" and waiting for the arrival of this MacBook Pro 13".

    1) Can I just interchange my 500GB hard-drive in the old machine to this new machine ? Will both still function ?

    2) Both Mac OS is the same 10.5.7 ?

    3) When will iFixIt sell 4GB RAM for this new Unibody ? Apple upgrade is really expensive.

    Thanks guys.

    No! I just through my 500gb drive from my unibody macbook pro into my brand spanking new 13" macbook pro, and when i booted, I am not able to get sound (internal speakers is missing in control panel) and also i noticed the firewire 800 port is not working. I dont know if the firewire port was working before the swap, but i KNOW i got sound. I'm PRAYING that i didn't screw something up because the cover did seem to stick on something in the back-right corner when i lifted it off, but i'm thinking its probably just the drivers. The build number is different even though both drives had 10.5.7 on them.

    Re-installing 10.5.7 on the 13" now (with CD's that came with it) and will let you know what happens.

    I swapped in a 500GiB drive with 10.5.7 from another MacBook, and it booted fine - but as Dave said, the iPhone-style combo audio port wasn't available. I archived-and-reinstalled the OS from the DVD that came with the MBP and have had no problems since.

    The built-in speakers are really nice, btw.

    Below, Apple labels it: HDD Firmware 2008, 160GB, 2.5inch, AT 9.5mm, P/N: 0A70461, MLC DA3031 A845221.

    You will have to do an archive and install. I lost the sound on my 13" MBP when I used the old OS in the new Mac.

    2) Both Mac OS is the same 10.5.7 ?

    No exactly, which is why step one above is necessary.

    Apparently not. I called Apple and they will not replace the screen even if you pay for it. I also called several top Mac shops and the cost was prohibitive. In the end I sold my 2 month old 2.4/4 UMB for $975. In the end it cost me $300 to upgrade to a 2.26/4 MBP. I lost .14 GHz but gained firewire, a much nice screen, an SD card slot and new batter technology, so the cost was worth it to me.

    What kind of Ram and hard drive can you recommend from newegg?

    • Some comparisons to the MacBook Unibody:

    • No access door for the battery on the bottom.

    • The addition of an SD card slot (and the omission of digital/mic port) is readily apparent.

    • FireWire is back!

    • Computer lock is now on the other side.

    • The SD card sticks out almost .5"! This is a cheeseball design for a MacBook "Pro" if you ask us.

    is it possible for me to sell back my 4-6 month old macbook unibody 13'' back to apple or something so i can buy this? If someone could help me with this that would be great!

    The battery will not be of same specification. That is why now it is only accessible by taking apart the entire outer enclosure, that way allowing for an increase in overall battery life.

    alecmv - 답글

    I don't really get the issue with the SD card sticking out -- seems like a normal design to me. You want to be able to have enough sticking out to grab onto to pull it out! If you had a flush mount you would need some sort of spring mechanism with a catch (like my digicam internals) or a spring and release button (kind of like the old pcmcia card slots). More mechanics/moving parts == more things that can break down IMHO.

    Even my plugin USB SD card reader has this exact same clearance and I've never had an issue with it. Not like you would (should) be porting around your mac in your laptop case while you had an SD card plugged in. (although I know people who leave CD's in all the time but I think that's kind of dumb too.)

    It's not just a mic port, really. It's a generic audio in-port, for any audio source.

    glissyboi - 답글

    Yeah, having the SD card stick out isn't a bad design. If it inserted flush, then you have to use a fingernail to push it in to activate the eject mechanism (and sometimes it's not easy to push it in far enough). And anyone who has dealt with SD cards knows, they can jam inside the slot, and become difficult to remove without tools.

    With it sticking out, a firm grasp will remove it. The only issue I see is RS-MMC cards which if the adapter fails to catch the RS-MMC card, you can be stuck with it inside the slot.

    Agree, agree, agree.

    My 15" MBP has had an SD ExpressCard adapter in since day one.

    It works the same way. Very durable. Cards go in and out multiple times daily.

    My Lexar "Professional" USB SD/CF reader hooked to my Mac Pro works the same way.

    Good riddance to spring-loaded card slots.

    The label does not indicate that your warranty will be void by removing the battery. However, you don't need to remove the battery to replace the hard drive -- you can just unplug the battery.

    You will not void your warranty unless you break something.

    • Let's get down to business.

    • There's no door latch, going along with the "not user-serviceable battery" theme.

    • We had to dig out a Phillips screwdriver for this step.

    • A quick flip of the lid and...

    I have used a #00 Philips screwdriver. Even using the angles here in http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/MacB... page number 38 in this manual, I was unable to unscrew the small screws near the opening latch (the ones on the sides and the long ones work btw).

    Does anyone have a solution for this? I don't want to break the screws or damage the cover.

    • ...It's almost exactly the same as our old, "lesser" MacBook Unibody.

    • The battery compartment is identical to the one we uncovered in the MacBook Pro 17" Teardown. We'll venture a guess that it looks the same in the updated 15" Pro as well.

    • Remove two tri-wing screws and the battery is suddenly replaceable. The sticker comes right off, just as in the 17" Pro -- because it's adhered to just the battery and midwall, not to the optical drive.

    Actually, the battery will cost exactly the same amount as any user-replaceable battery--$129. Apple will likely offer (like they do with the iPod, iPhone, and 17" MBP) a battery replacement program that only charges the cost of the battery. They will have to take it away from you for 24 hours, but they certainly aren't getting more money from the new setup. Just setting facts straight.

    • 7-hour battery specifications:

    • Model A1322

    • 10.95V

    • 60Wh

    • "This battery contains no mercury (Hg)."

    • When working on all machines that have internal batteries, disconnect the battery first to cut off power to the entire device.

    • Apple does offer battery replacement service for $129. If you're not near an Apple Store or service provider, you'll be without your machine 3-4 business days.

    • Although the batteries look similar, they're definitely not interchangeable. The MacBook Pro's battery is too large (and different in shape) to fit into the older MacBook Unibody.

    To answer both your and Raaza's questions:

    1. Replacing the RAM and HD does not void your warranty.

    2. 5400 vs. 7200 RPM is debatable. The upgraded performance will be most noticeable on disk-intensive processes, but you probably won't notice much improvement by just normally using the MacBook.

    Has anything been said about the chip used for the firewire? I was told on RME forum that the new chip works well with their sound card. Just wondered if you had any more good news. D

    Do you have anymore info on the Audio system?

    Can you tell what devices they are using to drive the speakers?

    Any info on the speakers, or headphone Amplifier?

    Are they using a wolfson or cirrus codec? Any info you have along that line would be awesome.

    Thanks

    you know what? be extra careful to remind to attach that micro-little piece of scotch tape to the superdrive connector… if you forget it the back cover of the mac will short circuit the Logic Board and result in a crash of the system…. Crazy but true!

    Is it possible to replace the trackpad on a MacBook Pro 13inc, my little boy hit it with a pen and cracked it. It still works just has an ugly crack on it. I see I can buy a new track pad just need some instructions on how to go about replacing it. This is my first Mac I am used to PC laptops so never opened a mac before. Some advice or tutorial would be great thank you.

    Hi Melissa. Unfortunately, the trackpad is part of the Upper Case. If you wish to replace it, we have a guide for the MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Upper Case. Good luck.

    Yes you can replace track pad and you don't need the whole unibody as I just took my track pad out with 4 little screws, just leave the the 2 in the middle of each little clip. You will see what im talking about!!

    Yes. My wife's MP13" arrived 2 days ago and I upgraded from 2 GB to 4 GB. Its very easy. You need a jewelers/eyeglass type Phillips screwdriver (very small tip) to remove the back cover screws. Just keep remember to keep the 10 screws in the same order as the hole they came out of because they are different lengths. The manual that comes with the notebook explains how to do it.

    Yes, the AirPort/Bluetooth card is hidden below the black plastic clutch cover at the base of the display. The display data leads reach the motherboard through one connector, and the AirPort/Bluetooth/iSight through another. We have not tried operating the machine with either cables unplugged, so I can't help you there. Check out our MacBook Pro 13" Unibody device page for detailed pictures and disassembly instructions.

    I'm also curious about changing the video card, but I'm glad to see that the hard drive and RAM are considered user-replaceable. Too bad it's still cheaper to buy the 8GB through Apple. 13" MBP user manual:

    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/MacB...

    The manual only mentions that the drive must be a 2.5" SATA. There's a 250GB SSD for $900 at Newegg, which is the more than it is to upgrade from Apple (although you'd get to keep the 250GB 5400). There are some more affordable 128GB SSD drives, $250-300. However, they're just covered under a replacement policy, no refunds! So, it'd be nice to hear some first-hand anecdotal evidence about a particular brand working well. Or, better yet, which drives Apple uses as its OEM? I'm using just over 128GB now, and I'm not sure how much of that can be pared down just for the longevity and energy/heat/mass savings of a solid state drive.

    Any SATA SSD will work. I'm running a Samsung 256GB SSD in my 15" unibody and I previously had a Patriot 128GB SSD in it. It pops in just like any other 2.5" drive (NOTE: Don't buy the Apple SSD from the BTO option; get an aftermarket drive from OCZ, Patriot or Samsung. The BTO SSD's have inferior read/write speeds.)

    The brightness "tearing" is gone and the viewing angles have improved.

Hi. AMAZING walkthrough and I really love your website. I need HELP!

I bought a refurbished MBP 13-inch 2.26 GHz and I don't think it came with a wireless card (I think I got ripped!). Bluetooth is working but my airport says "No Airport card installed".

Anyway - is it possible to check if the wireless card is in there? If not, is it possible to replace it? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

James McGrath - 답글

The AirPort card is hidden in the display. We don't have a guide specifically for it, but you can follow the display guide to remove the display and then use the clutch cover guide to access the AirPort card (you don't have to remove the front display glass to access the card; the clutch cover guide was part of another guide for the LCD but the steps are generally the same).

TAO NGUYEN - 답글

Hi Tao. Two most important things to upgrade are RAM and disk. Which one it depends on how you use your Mac, but if you can upgrade both, do it. Your laptop model can have as much as 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4GB). Increasing it helps a lot and it allows you to have more apps open and/or more tabs in your web browser, etc. Replacing your old HDD with an SSD will give you instant speed increase that will shock you. Absolutely recommended. And you can even keep the old HDD and use it instead of the built-in DVD drive (that I hardly ever used). Good luck.
