Mac Mini Memory Upgrade
After discovering the power cable to my parent’s Mac Mini has gone bad, I decided to upgrade their computers memory because my mom does tons of stuff with pictures, or should I say, she takes a ungodly amount of pictures. The original 1GB of memory, which the Mac Mini came with, was annoyingly slow. After about 5 minutes of contemplation, I decided to purchase the maximum memory the 2009 Mac Mini can handle. Below are some pictures of the disassembly and the installation of all 8GBs of memory freshly upgraded.

- Before disassembly
-
- Mac Mini with the top case removed.
-
- Separated the disc drive from the components, placed springs and screws off to the side
-
- There was dust caked everywhere so I blew some compressed air across the components to clean it up a bit.
-
- The Mini originally came with just 1GB of memory so needless to say its gotten a bit slow.
-
- I upgraded the Mini’s memory to its maximum potential of 8Gb
