Upgrading memory Mac Mini

It is unlikely that someone will be the secret of the fact that the upgrade entry-level Mac Mini would allow potentially save a lot of money. Thus 2 two-gigabyte memory strip will cost you less than a hundred greenbacks, while even in the US Apple Store for such a "trifle" with you happily tear off a half.

The hardest part of the process of upgrading - to disassemble the device. Hours of time spent on the inexperience of an upgrade for about forty minutes, I carry with lid.

To open the housing frequently recommend using a putty knife. However, come down and a thin line. The main thing - it must be strong enough to bend, you do not want to leave like the artifacts inside the body? In the network, there are more clever ways razzbora "Minicom", for example, using wires or cords. True, they played harder.

One of the important points that do not always pay attention is sharpened spatula. The gap between housing and cover is very small (ie, really very small, make sure themselves), because stick to the spatula quite problematic. And scratch the cabinet easy.

Here, I almost forgot: when disassembling the sheet under the cabinet with a soft cloth (and do not forget about static;)) Favorite Apple plastic is easily scratched.

The biggest problem - to open the first latch. It is possible that you will need to pick up just two of them. The position latches easily check flashlight shone into the body through the vents.

After the housing is opened, the majority of cases have already sdalat. Carefully remove the three antennas (where the latch is not necessary to break them) are set aside the fixing springs 4 and unscrew the fastening screw. Make the desired long magnetic screwdriver, since otherwise they will get uncomfortable. Next snaps block, remove the antenna (there latching contact, do not worry, if one of the antennas suddenly "come off") and voila, here it is, you want us to memory block. Push the latches on the sides, in order to free the memory stick, it carefully removed and replaced by two new (to disassemble the Minicoy second time?). All check latches the memory block, fasten all extracted entrails in place and to boot without putting the lid. If all goes well, the cover will not be difficult to quickly put in place. If not - at least not have to re-parse the body.

As you can see, everything is quite "elementary". As to the use of memory, then the idea should approach any of notebook modules DDR3 SODIMM PC3-8500 (1066MHz). If you believe the reviews on the web, the problems at the same time should not be.
