I have a Late 2011 iMac 12,1 and have purchased modules to go from 8GB to 24GB
( thanks Daniel). Today I duly shut down, unplugged everything from the back
(including a struggle as always with the ethernet plug) and laid the Mac out
flat on a towel. Various of the online “how tos” list the simple procedure
starting with a Phillips screwdriver to undo the three small screws that secure
the cover. But not so easy. I have several Phillips screwdrivers which look
as if they are correct but do not catch. Closer inspection shows that the
screwheads have only a shallow indent so a normal Phillips, which has a bit of
an extended point, does not apparently go in far enough to engage. Not wishing
to damage screwheads I put it all back again and still have 2 x 8GB sitting on
the desk looking at me expectantly. Has anyone else tried to follow this
seemingly straightforward operation and had, or not had, similar problems? Are
they really Phillips screws or something that just looks like them? I have had
similar situations in the past.
Advice please!
