Hello all, i go my first MacBook a few months ago and I L O V E it, will never go back to a PC again, but here i my question, I got the extended warranty for my Book, but I want to change the HDD from 120 to 500 would that void the warranty ?

Nope, your warranty will be fine. The hard drive is a user-installable part -- there's even a diagram showing how to do it inside the battery compartment. The only thing not covered would be if you broke something while doing the upgrade.

I did the exact same upgrade on mine.

Cool thanks for the post, I will go and order it right off, any suggestions, I want at least a 500 gig

Well, that's the biggest that exists for laptops at the moment. I have the Seagate in mine and put the Western Digital 500GB in a friend's, both are good.

That diagram only covers RAM installation, and does NOT depict the hard drive at all.

But still, not a problem.


You will need a T8 torx screwdriver.
