Has anyone ever successfully de-soldered Apple RAM and replaced it?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Isn't the RAM inside the actual SoC with the Apple Silicon line? I haven't really opened any of 'em up.

As for older Macs - sure, I know someone who replaced 8 gigs with 16 on either an Air or Pro model that had 16 available as an option but was shipped with 8. It's just something you do when you have way too many Mac boards lying around at work and your bosses say you can't get a new work laptop.

dosdude on YouTube I think has done this

I thought that too, but just looking at his channel it seems that he's only done the storage on an M1 mini, not RAM.
