Can I upgrade the RAM or SSD in this model?

Troubleshooting
MacBook Pro won't turn on
Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the MacBook Pro and a working wall outlet. Try a different outlet or USB-C port. If unresponsive, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds, then release and press again.
Slow performance or freezing applications
Check Activity Monitor (`Applications` > `Utilities` > `Activity Monitor`) to identify processes consuming significant CPU or RAM. Close unnecessary applications. Ensure macOS and all apps are up to date. Restart your MacBook Pro regularly.
Wi-Fi connection issues
Go to `System Settings` > `Network` > `Wi-Fi` and try turning Wi-Fi off and on. Restart your router and modem. If problems persist, try deleting and re-adding your Wi-Fi network from the list of known networks.
Battery drains quickly
Check `System Settings` > `Battery` to see which applications are using the most power. Adjust display brightness, close unused apps, and disable unnecessary background processes. Consider recalibrating the battery if the issue persists (Info needed: [Specific battery recalibration steps for this model]).
Peripherals not recognized
Ensure the peripheral is properly connected to a USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port. If using an adapter, ensure the adapter is functioning correctly. Try connecting the peripheral to a different port or restarting your MacBook Pro. Check the peripheral manufacturer's website for macOS driver updates.
