Hi all, I finally got sick of my 2014 mac mini and its abhorrently slow performance (likely due to the crappy stock 5400rpm stack of spinning rust). So... I'm getting and SSD to replace the internal drive.
When looking on iFixit for the repair instructions [1], I saw that iFixit says that I should get a Mac Mini Logic Board Removal Tool [2]. This looks like something that old coat hangers are made for... but just in case, does anyone have a feeling about the true necessity of such a device? Bill [1] They are very long, so it'll be a nice evening project https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ifixit.com_Guide_Mac-2BMini-2BLate-2B2014-2BHard-2BDrive-2BReplacement_32815&d=DwIFAg&c=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4O_KuapPgY&r=F2GFXrjLFqVo3VwvIlo_XYeEiRRjHv15rxcenz7A21woG2aFGcrzndoSsskxfmOs&m=Hb37skIAuEUTr_eV5paI48vLvh6mKacN3ssT30fuJys&s=NlsktXVrehijJszIoGJjZCwuOQdUVqG32Vir5HDH8s0&e= [2] https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ifixit.com_Store_Tools_Mac-2DMini-2DLogic-2DBoard-2DRemoval-2DTool_IF145-2D159-2D1&d=DwIFAg&c=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4O_KuapPgY&r=F2GFXrjLFqVo3VwvIlo_XYeEiRRjHv15rxcenz7A21woG2aFGcrzndoSsskxfmOs&m=Hb37skIAuEUTr_eV5paI48vLvh6mKacN3ssT30fuJys&s=Qr6wYK46uZfvdwcORX9NnyRFwaNTbVN-qy_WnnbTQHY&e= _______________________________________________ MacGroup mailing list Posting address: [email protected] Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/> Answers to questions: <http://erdos.math.louisville.edu/macgroup/>
