can someone tell me the screwdriver i need to take the back of the macbook off... all my screwdrivers do not fit. i need to insert new ram and this is why.

Should be a Philips 00 driver - look for a "precision screwdriver kit" at your local hardware store. A pocket knife works in a cinch, but you run the risk of damaging the screws.

Here's some repair guides you can check out too. I think your model is the A1278, if I'm not mistaken.

oh btw i know this may sound so stupid but is the #000 and PH000 the same ? google doesnt register # so i cant check

 

[johnnyham]

Yes, they are the same. A Philips #000 should work fine for most of the screws - I know that on mine, the external body screws were slightly too large for the #000, so I prefer the #00 as it's the "Goldilocks screwdriver".
