Update of the RAM memory
Several different Macbook Pro A1278 models were produced from 2008 to 2012.
The first models (Unibody and SD / FW) from 2008 to 2009 were delivered with only 2G of RAM, twice 1G.
So no expansion slot is possible, To add RAM to these models, you must completely replace the memory by two bars of 4G for a total of 8G of RAM. The type of memory is PC3-8500 DDR3 clocked at 1066 MHz.
Mid-2010 to Mid-2012: PC3-10600 @ 1333 MHz. Standard features on these phones included 4G (two bars of 2G).
They can be increased to 16G (two 8G arrays). Depending on usage, a memory upgrade can greatly improve overall system performance as well as some more RAM-intensive applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and more. Final Cut.
We opt for a reputable memory provider that offers high-quality products for Apple products.
The intervention to replace the RAM on MacBook pro is very simple for a computer technician and minimally invasive.
Hard disk replacement (SSD)
The Macbook Pro A1278 Repair models from 2008 to 2010 had hard drives with capacities ranging from 160GB to 320GB.
While the 2011–2012 models ranged from 500GB to 750GB,.
All the drives had a rotation speed of 5400 rpm, which is significantly slower than the newer drives.
Many MacBook Pro A1278 repairs are related to the hard drive. In some cases, the original hard drive is approaching 10 years old, which is often the source of the problem .
Noticeable slowness is the main lament we receive. To give back a lot of speed or even increase storage capacity, the option to replace the original hard disk with an electronic hard disk (SSD) is ideal. In some cases, if the hard drive is defective , the choice is simple: the installation of an SSD.
SSDs are electronic storage hard drives that have a much higher speed than a conventional drive.
The read / write rate goes from about 50 MB/ second to about 500 MB/ second, so potentially 10 times faster!
Macbook Pro is fully compatible with these new discs. Both update options are either a hard copy of the original disk or a fresh installation of the operating system. The model’s repair then transforms into a performance upgrade that surpasses the original computer.
Sierra OS (10.12) – Macbook Pro A1278
OSX 10.5 Leopard is from 2007; it was the default operating system on 2008 models.
Obviously, after almost 10 years, it is completely obsolete for today’s use.
We still see Macbook Pro, mainly with Lion (10.7) and Mountain Lion (10.8).
Upgrading to a newer, up-to-date operating system adds a lot to overall performance as well as up-to-date functionality. (Ex: Icloud support). The 2008 models can support the El Capitain version (OS 10.11) without problems and the 2009 and newer models support OS Sierra (10.12) .
Updating the operating system of your Macbook Pro is mainly necessary for newer applications, as the interface greatly improves.
Visual inspection of the computer
We check the general state of the computer, to ensure that it is in good condition. This is the beginning of the diagnosis and the evaluation of the necessary repairs. Some environments may precipitate certain physical defects (ex., accumulated dust). We take care to note any physical damage to properly assess the problem.
Evaluation of the reported problem, general slowness on the Macbook Pro A1278
The problem mentioned is an abnormal slowness.The hard drive is potentially the most likely part to cause this problem.
After evaluating the hardware, it appears that the computer is in good condition, but we need to replace the hard disk.
With the new SSD technologies, electronic hard drives offer much better performance than SATA hard drives.
We will, therefore, perform a replacement of the hard drive, with a full copy of the content.
The software user does not need to reinstall their software and will keep all their data.
Internal cleaning and maintenance
We then perform a cleaning of the cooling system of the computer. The accumulated dust just obstructs the dissipation of heat. This can lead to overheating problems and damage to the equipment.
