Vincent, yes, if they have the part, they will offer a flat rate price for a ¡°remove and replace¡± type repair. I believe the OP¡¯s issue is her SSD needs to be replaced with a larger one. Only I believe her drive is not a unit, but chips soldered to the circuitboard. Apple doesn¡¯t do soldering of components. They only ?replace discrete units, but they won¡¯t replace a resistor on a circuitboard. That is why, to replace a bad port, they will replace a motherboard at several hundred dollars.?

There were warnings, there was no upgrade path.

It is possible she can but a motherboard with a larger Flash Drive, from a company like IFixIt, but if used, in what condition. She¡¯d be better off with a new external drive.?

But again, I don¡¯t have the specific knowledge.?

My early 2008 MBP, Apple considers as obsolete. I recently scheduled a Genius Bar appointment. It has what I suspected were hardware and software issues. I could not get it to go into Safe Mode or Diagnostic Mode. They used to have an external drive that held the various diagnostic programs. They have moved them to a server, only they apparently removed the diagnostics from the server in the store and online for obsolete devices. That apparently why I could not start onto those modes.?

I asked If I could get the installers for 10.8 to 10.11, to upgrade it to the highest OS it could run. They have been removed from the servers, too. I was told to try and find someone on line, like on ebay to buy it from. ?

Some models have replacement chances. Regarding your comment that Apple has no interest in a vintage machine, I recently had the battery repair which includes a new top case for a late 2013 MBPr which I believe now is classified as obsolete. The issue as it was explained to me was availability of parts. If they have the part or can get it, they will repair it. For $199, it¡¯s a bargain.

Sew, I don¡¯t mean to rain on your parade, but the. SSD is storage, not memory. It is the drive. Apple considers your 2017 MBP as vintage and won¡¯t work on it.?

?

Macs will use some of the drive as temporary memory. My guess is that you need 1TB (terra byte)or more of SSD. Since Apple is calling it Flash Drive, it might be soldered to the motherboard and not upgradeable. An external drive, SSD or HDD, might be an answer. I don¡¯t have the knowledge to answer that correctly, only enough to say, find someone who does.?

My MBP is an early 2008.
