iMac RAM upgrade

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

Hi Severin, I have recently done this with no problems ­ my iMac is slightly older 11,1 and I just followed the OWC video. I don¹t remember exactly which screwdriver/bit I used but I do have quite an assortment. Since then I actually bought a 61 piece bit set (Bunnings special) that includes

Hi Severin, If your iMac is 21.5 Model A1311 or 27 A1312 you can use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to loosen the three captive screws on the memory access door. TURN them COUNTERCLOCKWISE Then remove the memory access door and set it aside. Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4 On 25 Jun

Thanks, Ronni. All my reading came up with Phillips but unspecified size. I suspected they might have been torx but definitely not. I will go back to my selection and try again. Best wishes and thanks Severin On 25 Jun 2014, at 3:45 pm, Ronda Brown ro...@mac.com wrote: Hi Severin, If

Hi Severin, Remember that the screws are captive - they only loosen, they remain with the cover - so it won't be noticeable that they are unscrewed until the cover comes off. I purchased many years ago and still use today, a Newer Technology 11-piece Portable Toolkit which includes: •

I realise they are captive screws but in my case to date they are immovable! That sounds like a neat, useful little kit. I think I have most of those items but dotted around various undefined locations which, I admit, is not very efficient. Extended home geography and two users are in part

Yes that is correct... It is now 14 pieces. I've had my set for probably a good 15+ years ;-) If you are having trouble loosening the three screws, sometimes the space between the internal threads and the screw threads capture moisture and oxidation occurs. If this is the case attempting to

Hi Severin Sorry to hear you haven't been able to get to the RAM yet. One thing I sometimes find with the screws on the RAM door (especially they haven't been moved for a while), is that using a slightly larger philips head end, will actually pick up enough to move the screw. And on some
