So as it turns out, Beyond the Box does not install components you purchased yourself such as SSDs and RAM. Does anyone know of a reliable service center/technician who can upgrade a late 2012 iMac?
I also found a store called Dr. A in V-Mall, does anyone have experience with them? https://www.facebook.com/dra.Philippines/
hands down, its AB-Blanc for fair pricing, rapid repairs and excellent customer service https://www.facebook.com/abcom948/
