Zoom7000 Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) My friend has a Mid 2009 13" MacBook Pro (5,5) and it comes built in with 4GB RAM (2 x 2GB). I just updated it to Yosemite as it was still on Snow Leopard and now I have lost 1 slot of RAM. It seems this is a common issue as there seems to be a lot of threads about it on Apple's Communities and other forums via a Google Search. The problem is that I have tried all those temporary "fixes" and tried resetting the PRAM / NVRAM and SMC and not had any luck with either. Reseated the RAM, tried different sticks, freezing everything and nothing works. The MacBook just won't see Bank 1 of RAM. It's well out of warranty, is there anything I can do to resolve the issue? It's highly unlikely to be worth replacing the logic board due to the age of the device. Edited November 24, 2014 by Zoom7000
Norphy Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 If you have an Apple store nearby, it may be worth taking it to the Genius bar for them to look at. The initial consultation is free at the very least and if it's just a "press here to fix it" style job they won't charge for that either. The Macbook doesn't need to be in warranty, I've taken out-of-warranty Macbook to my local one before. 1
mac_shinobi Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 What @Norphy suggested sounds like a good plan in that case
