13.3" MacBook Pro 9,2 (MD102ll/A) model. Didn't Apple really made it
hard to open up and stuff with their newer models with different
screws, glues, etc.?
I read
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2012+Hard+Drive+Replacement/10378
... It is not that simple, but then we don't fix computer hardwares.
Wow, lots of screws in that guide. I can't do it for sure due to my
disabilities (I only handle software stuff). :( So someone else will
have to do that part like AppleCare or a computer builder.

Quote of the Week: Allah's Apostle said, "Once while a prophet amongst
the prophets was taking a rest underneath a tree, an ant bit him. He,
therefore, ordered that his luggage be taken away from underneath that
tree and then ordered that the dwelling place of the ants should be set
on fire. Allah sent him a revelation: 'Wouldn't it have been sufficient
to burn a single ant (that bit you)?'" --Translation of Sahih Bukhari,
Book 54, Number 536
