Bottom Cover
Step 1
- Place your thumbs in the depressions cut into the bottom cover.
- Rotate the bottom cover counter-clockwise until the white dot painted on the bottom cover is aligned with the ring inscribed on the outer case.
- You do not need to apply much downward pressure while turning.
Step 2
- Tilt the mini enough to allow the bottom cover to fall away from the outer case.
- Remove the bottom cover and set it aside.
RAM
Step 3
- Release the tabs on each side of the RAM chip by simultaneously pushing each tab away from the chip.
- These tabs lock the chip in place and releasing them will cause the chip to “pop” up.
- After the RAM chip has popped up, pull it straight out of its socket.
- Repeat this process if a second RAM chip is installed.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
