problem installing ram on my macbook...

[desistyle]

I just got a new macbook (my old one had a problem so they gave me a brand new one).

I want to install 4 gigs of ram I purchased, but the middle screw of the metal bracket is IMPOSSIBLE to remove. The left and right screws were easily to loosen, but I can't get the middle one to even budge.

Any ideas? thanks!

heat causes the metal to expand. wait for it to cool a bit. But honestly it wont make much of a difference. Work out your fingers. Build a house. Strengthen those suckers and try again.

on my previous macbook I removed them easily... I let it cool all night..still couldn't do it...

Try harder I had a little trouble with mine then I finally got the bugger out

I agree, I had one that was extremely hard to get loose. Good luck.

Press firmly and try a quick 10 degree twist no more as you may strip it.

...and once you get them loose, be sure not to tighten them too much when rescrewing.
