There are already good tutorials on the Internets for how to crack open the case of your Mac Mini to upgrade the RAM, so I’m just going to post pictures.
I should have taken a photo with the putty knives jammed in its crevices. Note I said knives. I think having two putty knives makes the job hella easier, though it theoretically can be done with one. I was surprised with how rough I had to be with it, and was momentarily seized with panic when I did get it open, thinking I must have broken something… the Bluetooth/Airport antenna seems especially delicate. Everything seems to be running fine though.
OMG UR WARRANTY
I always worry about that stuff; I want to change the battery in one of my ipods, and I can’t bring myself to “crack it open!”.
