Hello,
So I bought a factory refurbished Early 2008 Macbook Pro last March. I have had nothing but problems ever since. I have never been able to make my Serato DJ Intro and my Mixtrack Pro II work together with my computer. It has completely crashed it several times. I've been able to get the computer up and running again after every crash but I've just stopped trying to make it work with Serato and Mixtrack. The plan was to upgrade the RAM and replace the Hard Drive with my next tax return. On Saturday I had a gig. I've been just using my Mixtrack with my iPods until I can get Serato working. The computer has a full charge. All green lights light up on the bottom and there is no problem with the charger but the computer won't turn on at all. I've tried all of the trouble shooting tactics I could think of and find online and no luck. So now I'm just wanting to pick everyone's brains here about whether you think it is worth it to try to upgrade the RAM and replace the Hard Drive or if I need to just bite the bullet and get a new computer. I'm concerned I'm going to drop a bunch of dough on the upgrades/replacements and then it's still not going to work. If I upgrade the RAM is 6GB enough? Is a 500GB Hard Drive enough? If everyone thinks I should just get a new computer, what is the best and cheapest computer available to use with Mixtrack Pro II and Serato DJ Intro/Itch, etc.? I also plan to upgrade to one of the better Serato products as well. Which one works best with Mixtrack Pro II? I know this is a lot to ask and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks so much!
