Introduzione
L'accesso alla memoria RAM richiede la rimozione del telaio interno.

Per aprire il case, occorre una spatola. Una spatola sottile da 3,81 cm è l'ideale, tuttavia occorre levigarne il bordo. Strofinare il bordo corto della spatola in avanti e all'indietro su un foglio di carta vetrata a grana grezza (da 100 è ottimale) finché non si ottiene un bordo levigato.
-
-
-
Inserire con attenzione una spatola nella fessura fra il coperchio superiore e l'alloggiamento inferiore. Iniziare dal lato sinistro. Premere la lama finché non si avverte una certa resistenza (circa 0,95 cm).
-
Allargare delicatamente la fessura facendo leva sul manico della spatola verso il basso e lontano dal Mac mini.

Premere leggermente le due linguette di fissaggio l'una verso l'altra e sollevare l'antenna AirPort dal proprio alloggiamento.

Utilizzare la punta di un inseritore per sollevare leggermente il lato sinistro del bloccacavo ZIF dal rispettivo connettore femmina.
Good catch of the incomplete unlocking instructions. ;P
Hmmm... what if I didn't read this before and I removed the cable and the lock sort of broke?... what would happen... would I experience problems? I can still put the cable back in place and push the lock back down with the spudger.
Same. I totally removed the lock , the edges are busted and won't stay in place, How can I get the cable to stay? what's the fix?

Dan O & Suzanne, hold the cable in the socket and put a dab of hot glue on both sides, It's non-conductive and should hold...worked for me.
does any one know, where to get the connector from zhe ZIF Cable?
someone, that preowned my mac broke the holder!
Julian, did you ever find where to get a replacement lock for the Zip Cable. Mine is also broken..

This is not my first memory replacement in a Mini and I got over-confident and stupidly fully removed the audio cable ZIF lock and assumed I had broken something. But, now that I have read this guide more carefully, I am not sure. I sure would love to hear some detailed instructions for putting a ZIF lock back on.
Is it possible that I have removed it without having broken it? If I have broken it, do I have to buy a new cable? Just a new ZIF lock? A new audio board? This is a 2.0 GHz A1176.
Thanks!
Michael, Mine seems to be broken. I bought & tried the Kapton Tape that was suggested & still no sound.

Mediante un paio di pinzette, sollevare connettore del cavo del sensore termico del disco rigido dal connettore femmina sulla scheda logica.
I've had to remove a few of these connectors on iBooks and other small Apple devices ... I've found that, with careful and gentle pressure (working first one side and then the other) using a small flat-headed jeweller's screwdriver is best.
I agree Mike.

Rimuovere la vite con testa a croce dal telaio interno, in prossimità dell'antenna Bluetooth.
Before removing any of these screws, there is another step needed which is not here:
On the front of the optical drive, right side as you look at the slot-load, is a small blue board attached by a single black screw. This needs to be removed before the optical drive can be taken out.

Rimuovere la vite con testa a croce accanto alle porte audio, che fissa il telaio interno al case inferiore.

Sollevare delicatamente il telaio interno dall'alloggiamento inferiore, facendo attenzione a non incastrare il cavo dell'antenna AirPort o altri cavi.
At this point be careful that you don't pull out the Airport antenna ... but if you do, just check that it is back before re-assembling.
During re-assembly, the internal frame has to go in at an angle ... the back of the optical drive goes in first.
This means that you can seat the fan cover correctly, but more importantly, there is an interconnect board on the back of the optical drive that must be firmly pushed back into its housing on the logic board.
If, like me, you pull the wire on the airport antenna free, it snaps back into place easily. The connector is on the extra card screwed to the motherboard that looks like it has a phone battery embedded in it. The connector is at the top of the 'battery'. This accessory card is the wifi card, so it makes sense that the antenna plugs onto this.

Estrarre contemporaneamente le linguette su ciascun lato del chip di memoria RAM, allontanandole dal centro. Queste linguette bloccano il chip in posizione. Sganciandole, il chip "salterà" fuori.

Estrarre il chip di memoria RAM direttamente dal connettore.

As a quick warning for noobs (that'd be me before I attempted this repair :P ), you need a matching pair of RAM (two chips the same size and spec). Otherwise, the computer won't boot up. ^_^
There were 2x 1GB chips in my 2007 mini. I bought 1x 2GB chip, because I read somewhere that model only would allow 3GB. After replacing a 1GB chip with the new 2GB chip, the system is only showing 1GB RAM installed. Is this what you’re talking about? If I buy another 2GB chip, will it work? PC2-5300 2 GB RAM Chip

Thanks a lot, 1Gb -> 4Gb is done !
This was easier than it looked, the only thing I had trouble with was getting the cover off (tried to use a flexible palette knife, bad idea) and getting the little sensor plug back in (it's SO tiny.) Oh, and one screw I had trouble getting back into the hidden recessed hole because my screwdriver isn't magnetized.
Speaking of which, size of screwdriver matters, I bought a set with a size 0 and size 000, but no 00, neither worked. Fortunately I had one of those cheap eyeglass repair kits, and the Phillips screwdriver worked perfectly.
Thank you so much iFixit! Very nice guide. Followed and worked like a charm. Keep up the good info coming!
Great step-by-step instructions, but now it won't boot... What to do?
did you change ram
Great job, went like a charm. btw, the old Mac mini 2007 can accept 4 Gb, and it looks like it uses the full monthly according to the memory app I am using.
Some say t can't but how can I make sure of that, does any one knows?
Went from 2 towards 4 Gb, now my old iMac from the same year is most lightly the same hardware as this Mini and that one can hold 4 to 6 Gb.

Excellent! Thanks a million! :-)
Nice equipment
