    A spackle knife makes these steps go much faster.

    A double sided letter opener or a thin non-serrated butter knife will suffice.

    To prenent cosmetic blemishes, place a matchbook cover or similar thin cardboard on the outer perimeter under the “jimmy”.

    • Doble suavemente el Jimmy hacia fuera para abrir un poco más la grieta y levante un poco la carcasa inferior.

    • Hay varios clips de plástico en la carcasa inferior que encajan en un canal en la carcasa superior de aluminio. Tu objetivo es utilizar el Jimmy para empujar estos clips hacia adentro lo suficiente como para liberarlos del canal, mientras tiras suavemente hacia arriba de la carcasa inferior.

    Patience is your best friend.

    Do not insert “jimmy in too far. Marking a line from tip upwards on the tool will prevent too far insertion, possibly breaking tabs or damaging internal components.

    To prevent the cover closing back up, small strips of matchbook cover (os equivalent) can be inserted about half inch hold prevent closure.

    • Más adelante en esta guía retirará varios tornillos Phillips empotrados. Los destornilladores de estrella suelen ser demasiado grandes para caber en los huecos, así que asegúrate de tener a mano un destornillador de estrella de eje fino.

    • En primer lugar, retira la antena AirPort (la más grande de las dos), situada cerca del botón de encendido.

    • Aprieta ligeramente los dos brazos de sujeción entre sí y levanta la antena AirPort de su poste.

    • Si aprietas demasiado las dos publicacioneses, seguramente se romperán del marco interno. Trabaja con delicadeza.

    • Durante la reinstalación, tendrás que apretar ligeramente los dos postes para que encajen en las aberturas de la placa de la antena AirPort.

    • Utiliza la punta de un spudger para levantar ligeramente el lado izquierdo del bloqueo del cable ZIF de su zócalo.

    • El bloqueo del cable ZIF se levantará aproximadamente 1 mm y se detendrá. No intentes retirar completamente el bloqueo del cable ZIF.

    Now also lift the right side of the ZIF cable lock up from its socket.

    chriZ - Contestar

    Good catch of the incomplete unlocking instructions. ;P

    lamarhavard -

    Hmmm... what if I didn't read this before and I removed the cable and the lock sort of broke?... what would happen... would I experience problems? I can still put the cable back in place and push the lock back down with the spudger.

    Dan O - Contestar

    Same. I totally removed the lock , the edges are busted and won't stay in place, How can I get the cable to stay? what's the fix?

    Suzanne -

    Dan O & Suzanne, hold the cable in the socket and put a dab of hot glue on both sides, It's non-conductive and should hold...worked for me.

    lamarhavard -

    does any one know, where to get the connector from zhe ZIF Cable?

    someone, that preowned my mac broke the holder!

    julian gmeiner - Contestar

    Julian, did you ever find where to get a replacement lock for the Zip Cable. Mine is also broken..

    Suzanne -

    This is not my first memory replacement in a Mini and I got over-confident and stupidly fully removed the audio cable ZIF lock and assumed I had broken something. But, now that I have read this guide more carefully, I am not sure. I sure would love to hear some detailed instructions for putting a ZIF lock back on.

    Is it possible that I have removed it without having broken it? If I have broken it, do I have to buy a new cable? Just a new ZIF lock? A new audio board? This is a 2.0 GHz A1176.

    Thanks!

    GalvanicMacPro - Contestar

    Michael, Mine seems to be broken. I bought & tried the Kapton Tape that was suggested & still no sound.

    Suzanne -

    C’est la première que je doit déverrouiller un câble ZIF. Je précise qu’il faut lever à gauche et à droite, ça force un peu, prendre appui sur le boitier du Mac, comme e montre la photo.

    La partie noire reste dans la partie blanche (+1 mm), et la nappe flexible sort par le haut.

    • Levanta el cable plano de la tarjeta de audio y sácalo de su alojamiento.

    • Si se niega a levantarse de su zócalo, el bloqueo del cable ZIF no está totalmente liberado. Asegúrese de que se levanta uniformemente aproximadamente 1 mm del zócalo de la placa de interconexión.

    As an option to avoid potential damage when disconnecting the cable from the ZIF socket and clip, it is possible to unscrew the audio board and remove it along with the internal frame.

    • Gira el mini de forma que el mecanismo de carga de la ranura SuperDrive quede orientado hacia usted.

    • Utiliza un par de pinzas para levantar el conector del cable del sensor térmico del disco duro de su zócalo en la placa lógica.

    • Utiliza unas pinzas para agarrar el conector (como se ve en la imagen), no los cables.

    • El conector se encuentra debajo de la abertura de la unidad óptica, junto a la batería PRAM.

    Managed to leave this connected by flopping back the drive rather than totally removing

    WATCH OUT!!

    separated one of the wires from the connector very easily. i would have preferred to use a spudger at this step. the tweezers in effect snipped the wire!!

    mklsvg - Contestar

    As my experience you should definitely use angeled tweezers as shown in several pictures. To avoid stripped cable deflash sharp edges of the tweezers a little bit. I never experienced problems when using that kind of tool carefully.

    Timpetou - Contestar

    I've had to remove a few of these connectors on iBooks and other small Apple devices ... I've found that, with careful and gentle pressure (working first one side and then the other) using a small flat-headed jeweller's screwdriver is best.

    Mike Haines - Contestar

    Note where the airport antennae connecting wire comes out from the interior along the top. When reassembling, it has to be routed the same way, or it won't reach its install position.

    robert - Contestar

    If your fan runs at high speed after you complete this project, you have forgotten to reconnect the thermal sensor.

    • En los siguientes pasos, retirará los cuatro tornillos Phillips que fijan el marco interno a la carcasa inferior. En cada paso se incluye una imagen general que muestra la ubicación general y un primer plano que muestra el tornillo real.

    • Retira el tornillo Phillips empotrado cerca del botón de encendido que fija el marco interno a la carcasa inferior.

  12. Reemplazo del disco duro del Mac mini Model A1176: paso 12, imagen 1 de 2 Reemplazo del disco duro del Mac mini Model A1176: paso 12, imagen 2 de 2
    • Retira el tornillo Phillips empotrado cerca de la luz de reposo que fija el marco interno a la carcasa inferior.

    • Este tornillo es el más largo de los cuatro tornillos que fijan el marco interno a la caja inferior.

    • Retira el tornillo Phillips del marco interno cerca de la antena Bluetooth.

    Before removing any of these screws, there is another step needed which is not here:

    On the front of the optical drive, right side as you look at the slot-load, is a small blue board attached by a single black screw. This needs to be removed before the optical drive can be taken out.

    • Retira el tornillo Phillips situado cerca de los puertos de audio que sujeta el marco interno a la carcasa inferior.

    On reassembly, if you don't have a magnetic screwdriver, a tiny dab of grease at the tip of your screwdriver will help hold the screw on the driver so you can lower it into the recessed slot.

    • Levanta suavemente el marco interno de la carcasa inferior, teniendo cuidado con la antena AirPort y cualquier otro cable que pueda quedar atrapado.

    • Puede ser necesario tirar hacia arriba cerca de la placa de interconexión para separarla de la placa lógica.

    At this point be careful that you don't pull out the Airport antenna ... but if you do, just check that it is back before re-assembling.

    Mike Haines - Contestar

    During re-assembly, the internal frame has to go in at an angle ... the back of the optical drive goes in first.

    This means that you can seat the fan cover correctly, but more importantly, there is an interconnect board on the back of the optical drive that must be firmly pushed back into its housing on the logic board.

    Mike Haines - Contestar

    Reassembly: Before slipping the main frame back into its place, refer to earlier photos, ensuring proper routing of the WiFi cable.

    Steve - Contestar

    If, like me, you pull the wire on the airport antenna free, it snaps back into place easily. The connector is on the extra card screwed to the motherboard that looks like it has a phone battery embedded in it. The connector is at the top of the 'battery'. This accessory card is the wifi card, so it makes sense that the antenna plugs onto this.

    • Retira los dos tornillos Phillips que fijan el lateral del disco duro al bastidor interno.

    • Utiliza los pulgares para deslizar el disco duro hacia el altavoz, desconectándolo de la placa de interconexión.

  19. Reemplazo del disco duro del Mac mini Model A1176: paso 19, imagen 1 de 1
    • Extrae el disco duro del bastidor interno.

    • Durante la reinstalación, puede ser útil alejar los cables del conector SATA y sujetar el bastidor interno boca abajo (mientras se apoya el disco duro) para ayudar a asentarlo en su conector.

    • No olvides transferir el relleno de espuma al nuevo disco duro.

    • Si vas a instalar un disco duro nuevo, tenemos una guía de instalación de OS Xpara que te pongas manos a la obra.

    I thought I needed to reload the OS starting with the system disks which came with my mini. The problem I had was that the OS at that point would not recognize the new hard drive. The Snow Leopard disks did just fine.

    Curt - Contestar

    excellent instructions of how to remove hard drive

    John Towers - Contestar

    Well, only 5 screws left over! Time to see if it works… (I had to start with your step 12; I’ve put this job off for too long! Wish me luck.

    Thanks for the encouragement, and the moral support.

    Donald Jackson - Contestar

    The thermal sensor cable in Step 10 is important during reassembly. Forgetting it will cause the fan to run all the time.

The foam on the harddrive is attached with an adhesive tape - be careful to peel up the tape from the harddrive, rather than the foam from the tape.

robert - Contestar

I seemed to succeed - until I discovered my optical drive had broken. Disks do not mount, after some tries they eject. There was a LOT of dust inside my Mini, I think some got in the optical drive. A cleaning DVD and compressed gas didn't fix it. I wonder if it would be wise to seal the opening to the optical drive -- certainly before cleaning.

This was a failure for me, even though the memory and drive change went well.

John Faughnan - Contestar

Can't fault this guide.

* if you don't have a putty knife & you don't mind some scratches, a thin butter knife will do the trick for getting the case off.

*if you plan to replace hdd with an ssd - you may need to rejig some of the internal wires that run around the edges of the hdd/ssd: after I installed the ssd, and returned the wires to the tight track around the side and socket port end of the ssd, and turned the machine back on, there was a high pitch interference noises coming out the internal speaker every time the drive was active.

The solution: make sure the speaker wire isn't where it's *supposed* to be! There are three sets of wires, include the speaker pair. I reversed the positioning of these with respect to the SSD, i.e. I moved the speaker pair to be furthest away from the SSD, and *didn't* tuck them back in under the plastic lip beside the ssd connector port. I turned it back on, and no more high frequency whining whenever the drive is active

I upgraded my 2007 A1176 Mac Mini with a 2 TB M9T drive that I broke out of Seagate Backup Plus Ext. HD and increased my RAM from 2 GB to 3 GB! Success!

Toshi Tazawa - Contestar

Be very careful with the audio cable removal the ZIF cable lock is VERY DELICATE!!!

Matt Canepa Jo Canales - Contestar

Love you guys! My old Mac Mini mid-2007 (2.0 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) was successfully upgraded with 240 GB Solid-State SATA hard drive as well as 3 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. The process took 30 minutes for both hard drive & RAM upgrade. It was easier than I anticipated. The Solid-State drive is superb making things runs so smoothly & quietly. Be careful with the delicate cables while upgrading. Follow the instructions step-by-step (I read 5 times & also watched the upgrade videos). And TAKE YOUR TIME. Funny, that the OS X install took longer than the upgrade (close to 1-1/2 hours). My next steps would be to replace the Airport card to 802.11 N and perhaps the Intel CPU to 2.3 Ghz. Thanks again!

erg208 - Contestar

be careful removing the ZIF CABLE LOCK... I did not expect it to be so frail and broke it even though being very careful since this is first time trying to upgrade the hard drive. having a very hard time trying to find a replacement online.

currypowpow89 - Contestar

Je ne vois pas comment remplacer le disque par un SSD ! Démonter le disque, OK ! Mais le remplacement ? (Fixation, câblage, etc... ?)

Jules Gourci - Contestar

Les SSD de 2.5" ont exactement les mêmes dimensions que les disques durs. Choisissez-les plutôt quel les SSD sous forme de barrette.

eric -

En aucun cas je ne vois comment installer le SSD (fixation, etc...)

Jules Gourci - Contestar

mad props to you folks for the written and video presentation. appreciate the help.

workingyouth - Contestar

As far as I can tell, I followed this guide correctly, but my poor Mini was so old that the plastic around the base was extremely brittle, and a number of pieces broke off as I opened the case. Everything inside still seemed ok, and the metal parts of the case still fit together fine, but having replaced the hard disk… it won’t turn on. At all. No chime, no action. I can’t see anything that looks to be dislodged or disconnected (apart from the bits of plastic grille that broke away), but it seems to be completely dead.

I has a sad Mac. :(

Robin Darroch - Contestar

False alarm! I unplugged the power supply, left it for a few minutes, then came back and plugged everything in… and away we go! Now to dig up my Lion install DVD... which, because the internal superdrive isn’t working any more, I’ll have to install using a USB DVD drive. With USB 1.1. Because that’s how we rolled in 2009.

Robin Darroch -

Hi, I followed the above steps and switched on. Things looked ok but when I went to install os the new HDD was nowhere to be found on disk utility. Tried putting old one back and same problem……any ideas?

Thanks

Gavin Barnes - Contestar

wonderful - thanks

r.holmes - Contestar

No problems following this tutorial to disconnect the HD. Mine didn't have the T shaped foam and the spring in the antenna holder. Both may have been discarded by the Authorized Apple Service Provider in the two previous HD changes. What took me by surprise was that the HD slipped away from the socket as soon as I removed the screws. As if the socket didn't hold the HD firmly. Thanks for the clear photos and caution tips.
