3.1 Mac mini (Early or Late 2009 systems) (continued)
The photos on the next pages will show what you are releasing
and may make this process easier since you can visualize what you
are doing better. You may want to read ahead before proceeding,
especially step ➄ to see what the clips look like that you are going to
release.
Gently work around the outer perimeter of the Mac mini with the putty
knife , prying from the aluminum shell in towards the white plastic frame at
about a 30 degree angle as you move around. This will release the retaining
clips that are securing the top cover onto the white plastic frame. You will
hear popping, snapping, and cracking sounds as you do this -- those sounds
are completely normal and are nothing to worry about. You should be
able to free one side as you move towards the front and then around the
corner to the next edge. When you reach a corner you can remove the putty
knife and reinsert it, as the knife is not exible enough to work around the
corners.
