Mac Mini *COMPLETE* Technical Disassembly Documentation (PDF)

Another friend, after seeing my site, slipped me this PDF. It has the *COMPLETE* disassembly of the Mac Mini… including all required tools, high-quality images… everything you could possibly need.

I am not responsible for any damage to your Mac Mini. This is purely for instruction ONLY. Apple states that as long as you do not BREAK your Mac Mini while working on the inside, it is still covered under warranty. A quote from this article, which compares the Mac Mini to a cheap Dell PC… a very interesting read.

Again, I’m not sure about the legality for me to post this… but until I hear otherwise it will remain. This, and the movie, are official Apple productions (as far as I know) and are the best references available. I would not trust anything else when messing with my Mac Mini.

Taking-apart the Mac Mini! (how-to disassembly video)

Somebody leaked me this video… it demonstrates how to crack-open the mac mini’s casing, which makes all parts available to the user via further disassembly screws. I’m not sure if it’s legal for me to post this or not, but here it is! (until I hear differently, this will remain available here.)

Download the movie… (requires Quicktime to view. it’s free….)

AppleInsider has additional information on the Mac Mini’s hardware here. This is key if you’re planning on purchasing upgrades.

Update: Welcome Fellow Slashdotters! Here’s another article I wrote on the Mac Mini… entitled: ‘Mac Mini vs. Airport Extreme/Express?‘… “With Apple’s recent release of the Mac Mini for just $499, the following question arises in my mind: Why buy an Airport Extreme ($199) or Airport Express base station ($129) when the Mac Mini can do so much more? Price aside, the Mac Mini soars past the capabilties of the others.” Check it out for sure. -smash
