    • Power down your Mac mini, disconnect all of the cables, and flip it over.

    • Insert the Jimmy into the crack between the aluminum top housing and the plastic lower housing.

    • The Jimmy should reach a stop about 3/8" down.

    • Gently bend the Jimmy outwards to pry the crack open a little larger and lift the lower housing up a small amount.

    • There are several plastic clips on the lower housing that fit into a channel in the aluminum top housing. Your goal is to use the Jimmy to push these clips inward enough to free them from the channel, while gently pulling up on the lower housing.

    • Once you have the first side free, rotate the Mac mini and start prying up on the front edge.

    • Use the same prying motion to both bend the clips inward and lift the lower housing up out of the top housing.

those Putty Knifes are:

too smal

too sharp

too expensive.

Better use a 100mm broad Spatula; (opens all the claws in on step)

out of plastic is good enough and cheap.

And use two of them at one time.

No, I didn’t think the Jimmy is expensive or too small.

And the Jimmy didn’t break something so it is the best solution I think!
