    • Lift the ear of the fan nearest the RAM up off the standoff secured to the outer case.

    • Removing the standoff screw is not necessary to remove the fan. You need only raise the fan enough to lift it off the standoff screw.

  8. Mac mini Late 2012 Power Supply Replacement, Antenna Plate: 步骤 8 中的图像 1，1

    • Remove the following screws securing the antenna plate to the mini:

    • Two 6.6 mm T8 Torx screws

    • Two 5.0 mm T8 Torx or 2.0 mm Hex screws (either screwdriver will work)

    • When putting back together:

    • It can be difficult to get the hard drive seated correctly such that the antenna plate fits in place correctly. If the screw holes don't line up with those on the hard drive, make sure that the two pins that are in the back of the hard drive are properly seated in the holes at the back of the case, above the housing for the second hard drive.

    • The antenna attaches directly to the hard drive (red markers), therefore attaching the antenna can move the hard drive around and loosen the connection of the hard drive cable to the logic board.

    • Slightly lift the antenna plate from the end closest to the RAM.

    • Carefully pull the antenna plate away from the circular rim of the outer case.

    • Do not remove the antenna plate yet. It is still attached to the AirPort/ Bluetooth board.

    • Make sure to pry up from beneath the wires and not underneath the socket.

    翻译

  15. Mac mini Late 2012 Power Supply Replacement: 步骤 14 中的图像 1，1

    • Remove the following three screws:

    • One 5.0 mm T8 Torx or 2.0 mm Hex screw (either screwdriver will work)

    • One 16.2 mm T6 Torx screw

    • One 26 mm T6 Torx standoff

    • To remove the logic board, the two cylindrical rods of the Mac mini Logic Board Removal Tool must be inserted into the holes highlighted in red. Inserting instruments into any logic board holes other than the ones highlighted in red may destroy the logic board.

    • Insert the Mac mini Logic Board Removal Tool into the two holes highlighted in red. Be sure it makes contact with the top side of outer case below the logic board before proceeding.

    • Carefully pull the tool toward the I/O board. The logic board and I/O board assembly should slightly slide out of the outer case.

    • Cease prying when the I/O board is visibly separated from the outer case.

    • Remove the Mac mini Logic Board Removal tool.

    • Pull the I/O board/logic board assembly out of the outer case enough to access the power connector.

    • Use your fingers to disconnect the DC-In cable from the logic board.

    • Pull the power cable connector toward the front side of the mini.

    翻译

    • Carefully slide the logic board assembly out of the mini, minding any cables that may get caught.

    • Pull the hard drive away from the front edge of the mini and remove it from the outer case.

    • During reassembly, there are two pins on the inside edge of the hard drive that fit into the case. The holes have rubber grommets around them, so it may be difficult to tell when you have seated the hard drive correctly.

    • There are two pairs of holes in the case. Insert the pins into the holes closest to the bottom of the case.

    翻译

    • Remove the 7.9 mm T6 Torx screw securing the power supply and hard drive tray to the outer case.

    • During reassembly, ensure the cables that run alongside the hard drive are tucked under the power supply. This will ensure the hard drive is properly seated. In addition, the antenna screw holes will not line up if there are cables in the way.

    • Pull the silver metal AC-In socket retainer away from the side of the outer case and remove it from the mini.

    • During reassembly, notice that the silver clip hugs either side of the lower beveled edge of the AC connector. When sliding the clip back in it will hit a stop, but not click into place. You will know that you did it correctly because it will not easily move out of position.

Hello,

Can you please mention the part number of the powersupply module.

Shakthi Gs - 回复

The instructions mention a T6, and T8 screwdrivers. The “Buy these tools” link to T6 and T8 security screwdrivers. There is no mention of the security version of these screwdrivers required. Can someone clarify?

akobelan - 回复

For the late 2012 Apple Mac Mini, You do not need the security version of either the T6 nor the T8. However, I use the iFixit Pro Tech Tool Kit so mine are security torx. Either will work in this case. Goodluck!

(I’ve taken apart plenty of Apple products as well as 3 mac mini’s this week alone 2011, 2012, and 2012. They start using Safety Torx in 2014 to keep “clumsy customers” out. However that does not keep out the enthusiasts ;)

Edward Petrik -

The best advice I can offer following this repair manual is to read all the steps carefully prior to disassembly / assembly. Go at it carefully and methodically. And refrain from caffeine a few days prior. It really sucks to drop a screw inside the case at step 18.

akobelan - 回复

can the power supply be tested IN PLACE with volt amp meter? i can see the power supply pins after Step 3. many people i see searching for this want to know if their power supply is good or if failure is also the logic board. i would stop disassembly if logic board has failed. also would know if one had to order power supply and logic board immediately/at the same time. Thank you!
