Thanks to the correct screwdriver as per Ronni’s advice I now have 24GB RAM
installed. A breeze finally but some headache along the way. Thanks to all
for advice and tips. No doubt now, knowing the way my mind works, I will be
looking to max out to 32GB!

Thanks Daniel, Ronni and Neil for thoughts on the solution to a SIMPLE problem.
The right screwdriver helps! but I note Daniel’s comment.
Tomorrow is another day and I will review what I have n hand (lots on offer )
but maybe pay you a visit Neil. Such a bind unplugging and getting it lying
As I mentioned in my previous email, I have the correct screwdriver/bit
amongst my collection & I¹m just round the corner from Severin.
So, Severin, if you want to borrow it/them just give me a call & pop round
;o)
I remember when I did mine, one screw was more difficult than the others
but kee
I understand Severin.
Let's hope you find the correct screwdriver or I could send/lend one down to
you.

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 real
Good advice Ronni but I believe my problem has been unsuitable screwdriver
rather than seriously stuck screws. The physical problem to take the iMac in
to T4 is off putting!

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 rem

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 to
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:

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

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

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 se
I have a Late 2011 iMac 12,1 and have purchased modules to go from 8GB to 24GB

(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 sim
