A friend of mine wants me to upgrade their ram for them, On their iMac. They use it for their business.

I don't see screws. How do I open it? :l

Apparently its a "MB325LL/A".
Black backing, 24inch screen..

There should be one Phillips head screw directly Apple logo under the chin of the iMac. The screw doesn't come out all the way. When it stops coming out, give it a few gently pulls. The panel should pull out.
 
Ah so its relatively simple?


Anyone have a video? I'll probably end up doing it tomorrow but it would be cool to be informed.
 
Click the :apple: menu and select "About this Mac" Click "More Info". You should see a listing for "Model Identifier" - something like iMac11,1

Go to macsales.com
go to RAM Updates

There are how-to videos available for pretty much all Model Identifiers. They will also tell you what type of RAM to use.

Its iMac8,1 I believe.
 
Instructions on bottom

There is a diagram of how to install ram printed on the bottom of the iMac's stand. Had Apple stopped doing this?
 
Oh now I feel dumb.

Ahaha OK so its quite simple.


@Viper I haven't actually even moved the mac yet or touched it.. I just assumed I had to open it entirely.


Thanks everyone, You've been a great help.
