Behind the MacBook’s Battery: Video

As a little update to the previous post I made about the MacBook’s HDD and memory being easily replaceable, MacWorld has posted a video showing this. The link to the article and the YouTube video can be found at the end of this post.
I feared that if the HDD was over the battery, then it would heat it up, but now MacWorld have revealed where it is actually hidden. To get to the RAM modules and the hard drive, you simply remove the battery using a coin to turn the lock, as in previous iBooks and PowerBooks. Then using a normal Philips headed screw driver you remove three screws that are on the side of the battery bay. You can then remove the protective plate that was covering the bays. To remove the RAM modules, there is a little lever which you push that then ejects the modules. The hard drive (as shown above) can simply be pulled out from its slot using a white tab attached to the drive. Ta-da, you can now spend less money than Apple would charge you, to replace the RAM and the drive.
