Unibody Makeover

Mein Problem

Constant beach ball. Simple tasks painfully slow to execute.

Meine Reparatur

Swimmingly. Opened it up, dropped in the goods (solid state drive, new RAM, new battery), and boom! Back in action. I had a few hiccups installing Yosemite from USB drive, which were quickly countered with the moves shown below.

Mein Rat

Before installing OS X, you will probably need to format your drive to GUID (http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/16/make-os-x...).

If you get an error message installing OS X (in my case Yosemite) for no apparent reason, you may need to set the time through terminal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvd1D129...).
