I tried for 15 minutes to get 1 screw into a hole, until I decided it just would not work. If you try to put the screws on after you put the the internal frame, you will never get the screws to go into the holes. Good strong fingernails were the key.Īlso when putting the internal frame back onto the main board of the mac mini, put the 4 screws in place before you drop it down. I had to remove about 3 of them and the tweezers were really not all that helpful. The tiny black connectors (power I think) are very tight. The instructions and pictures were very handy and helped a lot in the disassembly.
PLEX MAC MINI 2007 UPGRADE
I had some ram handy so I wanted to upgrade from 1GB to 4GB. When I tried to it said I needed more than the 1GB I had in the the machine. You could hear the whine from the fan whenever it was running bigger jobs. Take your time, go by the checklist, don't jump ahead or hurry on the reassembly, and no-one/nothing dies. ifixit rocks for their guides and very fast parts delivery,ģ.
PLEX MAC MINI 2007 PRO
try using iStat Pro to verify that the fan has failed - it'll show 0rpm,Ģ. Oh, and did I mention parts? You guys had snappingly fast delivery to regional Australia, thank you! My Adviceġ.
PLEX MAC MINI 2007 TV
Thanks to this, the Mac Mini is once again nestled next to the TV ready to play media once more! Sure enough, the guide made sure I didn't end up with parts left over or any other surprises. Because of this I knew the fan would be a (ahem) breeze. Opening this generation of Mac Mini feels intimidating at first but I've used ifixit's excellent guides to pull this critter apart a few times to add memory, replace the optical and hard drives. End result, our 5 year old Mac Mini that still does sterling service as a media centre (thanks Plex!), burnt out its fan and overheated to the point of powering off the next time we used it. A couple of weeks ago we had had a power spike in the night.
