MacBook Pro is a notebook released by Apple at the MacWorld 2006 conference by Steve Jobs on January 11, 2006, to replace the PowerBook G4 product line.

MacBook repair Method/Step
First, Clone your hard drive
The first step is to clone your Mac hard drive to the SSD. Utilities such as Carbon Copy Cloner can be used and will show you how to do this using Apple's own Disk Utility program.
- Use mSATA chassis or adapter to connect SSD to Mac.
- Open Disk Utility in the application folder.
- Click the SSD icon, and then select the Partition tab. In the location where the partition layout is located, select "1 partition". There is a box labeled "Options..." at the bottom of the window. Click the box and select "GUID Partition Table" in the opened window.
- Click the First Aid tab, and then choose to verify disk permissions. After the process is complete, choose to repair disk permissions. When finished, choose Verify Disk, and then choose Repair Disk.
- Shut down the Mac, then restart it while holding down the Option key. Select the option to boot to the recovery disk.
- Select the option to reinstall Mac OS X. Select SSD as the target disk. This process may take more than 30 minutes.
- Copy files from the original hard disk. After the operating system is installed, the utility will ask you if you want to recover files from other disks. Select the original hard drive. Depending on how many files you have, this process may also take some time.
Second, install SSD
The laptop must be disassembled.
- Turn the Mac over and find 10 screw holes.
- Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws. Note: It is recommended to put the screws in a small bowl or on other things so that the screws will not be lost.
- Pry open the bottom of the MacBook Pro.
- Find the hard disk. It is fixed by a small piece of plastic. Remove the screws holding the plastic sheet.
- Gently remove the hard drive from the case, and then take out the ribbon that connects it to the notebook.
- The four sides of the hard drive are four small metal pillars. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the post.
- Connect the mSATA ribbon to the SSD, and then put it back in the notebook. Reinstall the plastic sheet that holds the drive in place, and screw the bottom back into place.
- Reopen the notebook. Open System Preferences, and then start the disk. Select SSD (it should be the only one listed), and then restart the notebook.
