[QUOTE="krs, post: 1830272, member: 67742"] Patrick, I'm shocked! You don't have any of these basic tools?:D Probably all available from ifixit or OWC. I had to go and buy a special screwdriver just to replace a battery on a MacBook The tool I saw on the original video I referenced was the size about four times as big as each of the memory chips in the MacBook Air video, it desoldered and later soldered all the pins at once using temperature controlled air. With that approach, the tool I'm sure is quite expensive but the skill level to desolder and then resolder is much less. [/QUOTE]
