[QUOTE="jjaspirant, post: 793724, member: 80416"] This is a tip and not a question. I had a hard time replacing the RAM on my Macbook Pro because I didn't have the right screwdriver. The right screwdriver to get the screws off a Macbook pro is Philips Head #00. I bought a set from Frys (the small metallic type) but the screws were too tight. It appears that the Macs have some gum under their screws (locktite). The Apple Genius Bar guys wouldn't help me get the screws loose. I finally went to Radioshack and got a set of "Kronus 20 piece electronics bit driver set" for $17. And it worked like a charm. It didn't take ANY effort to get the screws off. Just wanted to post this here in case someone else needed the same info. [/QUOTE]
