The MacBook Pro got fixed today…

The Culprit

The Replacement

The Guts

All was well until I was working in a data-center this afternoon and it kernel-panic’d on me 3 times over. Called the shop I had the work done at, and he suggested I reseat the RAM, and everything was fine again. Yay! (And a phew!)

While the original repair was being done, I took a look at a BlackBook that’d gotten a little too greedy for the Starbucks…

<< Insert joke about black coffee being with a black MacBook here >>

I also observed that it looks like Laptop SATA drives have the EXACT same connector as desktop SATA drives, so I guess there’s no more adapters required.

Laptop SATA ports… appear to be the same as their 3.5″ cousins
