    • 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.

if you are upgrading to 8g it may not work. my system would only recognize a mismatched 4g and 2g for 6g. even the 2g boost from 4g made some speed improvement

Well done! Easy to follow and thorough! Took me 10 minutes start to finish!

You probably need to install Mac Mini EFI firmware update 1.2:

Wife has the Late 2009 Macmini (MM) originally with 2GB. We upgraded to 4GB a couple of years ago, and it has been running very slow with Yosemite (10.10.5) for far too long.

Ordered the 8GB upgrade kit and set for 2 day delivery. Bummer it came in 1 day via UPS. Thanks for the surprise iFixit. The tools were unnecessary for me (as I have most), but they are totally outstanding and the real deal. So I decided to use them all. ;)

The upgrade took about 15 min (even for this experienced Mac repair guy). Fired it up and the MM recognized all 8GB. It doesn’t scream, however, it is probably 2-3 times faster and can handle the amazing multi-takser that is my wife; 16 Safari pages, Mac Mail, Calendar, and 7 other apps open at all the same dang time. Thanks iFixit for the absolute best in repair universe parts, service, tech commitment, and guides.

It worked!!! Love it!!! The websites installation guide was very easy to understand. However, the small screwdriver that was shipped with the kit didn’t fit the screws for step-12, almost stripping the screws. luckily, I had another small screwdriver (for glasses) that worked.

Thank you ifixit!!! Totally worth it.
