Add Note Edit Step 14
В В В Big players on the top side of the logic board include:
В В В В В В В Intel L116IA35 Thunderbolt port controller IC, similar to that found on the Early 2011 21.5" iMac
В В В В В В В Broadcom BCM57765 gigabit ethernet and memory card controller
В В В В В В В Texas Instruments XIO2211 FireWire Controller
В В В В В В В Cirrus Logic 4206B Audio Controller
В В В One T6 screw holds the power supply in place.
В В В After removing a small metal bracket and twisting the AC power-in port, the power supply slides right out through the Mini's empty front.
В В В Look familiar to you, too?Good, then it's not just us.
В В В One more T6 screw and we can pull the IR sensor/receiver from the optical drive-- what?No optical drive?To make room for the additional hard drive option, Apple has removed the optical drive from this year's Mini and replaced it with some good old-fashioned emptiness.
В В В The IR sensor stares straight into the depths of our souls.Sorry buddy, you won't find your lost optical drive here.
8 out of 10
- No proprietary screws are found within the device.
- You can easily upgrade your RAM and hard drive, as well as add a secondary drive.
- There's no glue anywhere inside that needs to be removed while disa*sembling the Mini.
- The CPU is soldered to the logic board and not user-upgradeable.
- While not difficult to do, you still have to remove almost all the internals in order to replace the power supply.
