[QUOTE="DianeVan, post: 1626710, member: 318944"] History of issues: Trouble with heat when charging and not charging properly. Apple store sold me new charger. Lots of rotating beach balls. Have Lion decided to get Yosemite. Have only 4 g ram. Mid 2010, but purchased Nov. 2011. Asked at Apple store for more ram before updating. They told me to go to Simply Computers as Apple store doesn't instal same. Went to Simply Computers and they were to install additional ram (2 x 4) but reported that my logic board was failing and said not worth repair cost wise. Didn't install additional ram. It had kernel panic black screen at the store - first and only one. Took MacBook Pro home to think about getting new computer (and save up $$) and it has been working fine since. (abut 2 months). Used Onyx - seemed to help with rotating balls. Not much issue with that now. Sometimes when it charges it gets hot and hot when watching movies. Otherwise seems fine. Questions: I still want Yosemite. Should I go back to Simply Computers and try again to get more ram? or? This is my first Mac purchased new from Apple Store after getting very tired of MS nonsense. Fully Apple fan now. Thanks for your suggestions. [/QUOTE]
