Well done! Easy to follow and thorough! Took me 10 minutes start to finish!
You probably need to install Mac Mini EFI firmware update 1.2:
Wife has the Late 2009 Macmini (MM) originally with 2GB. We upgraded to 4GB a couple of years ago, and it has been running very slow with Yosemite (10.10.5) for far too long.
Ordered the 8GB upgrade kit and set for 2 day delivery. Bummer it came in 1 day via UPS. Thanks for the surprise iFixit. The tools were unnecessary for me (as I have most), but they are totally outstanding and the real deal. So I decided to use them all. ;)
The upgrade took about 15 min (even for this experienced Mac repair guy). Fired it up and the MM recognized all 8GB. It doesn’t scream, however, it is probably 2-3 times faster and can handle the amazing multi-takser that is my wife; 16 Safari pages, Mac Mail, Calendar, and 7 other apps open at all the same dang time. Thanks iFixit for the absolute best in repair universe parts, service, tech commitment, and guides.
It worked!!! Love it!!! The websites installation guide was very easy to understand. However, the small screwdriver that was shipped with the kit didn’t fit the screws for step-12, almost stripping the screws. luckily, I had another small screwdriver (for glasses) that worked.
Thank you ifixit!!! Totally worth it.
Did it in about 5 Min. The Old Macs are great to work with. One Thing i can recommend is a longer bit for your Skrewdriver.
It worked!!! Got a Mac Mini Late 2009 and the Apple Website told me it just supports 4 GB. Just built in 2 x 4GB RAM and it’ running… Thanks for the great how to guide. I love my Mako Driver Kit from iFixit, best screwdriver kit!!!
Worked, very helpful. The one thing I needed that was different was a prying tool to open the case. The Jimmy was too flimsy on its own. Had to use the Jimmy on one and the painter's tool on the other. The Jimmy by itself was to flimsy, and instead of the case opening, the Jimmy would bend. Note that you need to be careful with this; I ended up bending one of the pins that hold the chassis in place.
