Open back of unit, press two grey sides surrounding the chip, pull out the top (leave the bottom 2gb in) put in the new (4gb) chip; now there are 6gb of ram.
I just upgraded to 2 4GB chips. Works fine sofar!
That's awesome! I thought that I could only upgrade the RAM to 4GB (which is what I have now). Can you give me the type of RAM that you installed? I have this exact model MacBook.

Uh oh. I replaced my 2 1GB ram with 2 2GB. I turned it on and it beeps at me about every second, the front status light blinks in time, but nothing else....what next?
Sounds like bad RAM. I would contact who you purchased it from. If it was us, email support [at] ifixit [dot] com
