   It’s pretty straight forward. The RAM sticks are asymmetrical, so if they don’t go in, don’t force it. Also, be careful that you are in as static free of an environment as possible. Good luck! It’s not too bad.

   Is it giving you any beeps when you try to turn it on? That would mean that the RAM is not pushed in all the way, or the RAM sticks are defective. If you don’t hear anything (beeps), it could be an issue with your battery. There was a re-occurring issue with Macbook batteries going out. If that’s the case, you might try plugging in your computer to the AC power connection to turn it on. If that is the problem, you should take your Macbook to the closest Apple store and swap out the battery.

   I would be damn right scared to replace ram on a macbook opposed to the MacBook Pro which is simple

   Yeah, sometimes I have to build up some courage too – but the Macbooks aren’t TOO tough to do. Good luck!
