One week after I got the “mini white”, I upgraded it. The memory, now is 1GB!

Last night, I used a big force to open the Mac Mini box by referring to some online instructions. After some time and effort, without too much scratches, the box was opened.

Today I went to the computer market at XJH with my girlfriend, to help her buy a new PC for her parent. Then, I got the good deal of 1G Kingxcon DDR2 667 for RMB770.

1 hour ago, I opened the box again and disassembled it into parts, replaced an original 256M with the new 1G. Before i sealed the box, I connected the power cord and tried to turn it on. Bad thing happened…nothing but a folder icon with an X was shown in the center of the screen, nothing.

Then, I took all parts out, found a small PCB was not plugged into the slot. Damn! The small box is 10 times complicated than a PC but 1/10 of it’s size.

Ok, another story here. A small piece of copper part just jumped out and I don’t know where to put it back. Shame of me! I have been disassembling things since 8 years old and this doesn’t happen a lot. Anyway, the Mac this time turns on well and nothing seems to be strange.

Now, the Mac is flying fast with 1.25GB DDR2 667 memory total. Mac Mini can rock!
