Step 1 — Bottom Cover
Place your thumbs in the depressions cut into the bottom cover.
Rotate the bottom cover counter-clockwise until the white dot painted on the bottom cover is
aligned with the ring inscribed on the outer case.
You do not need to apply much downward pressure while turning.
Step 2
Tilt the mini enough to allow the
bottom cover to fall away from the
outer case.
Remove the bottom cover and set it
aside.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
Step 3 — RAM
Release the tabs on each side of the RAM chip by simultaneously pushing each tab away from the
chip.
These tabs lock the chip in place and releasing them will cause the chip to "pop" up.
After the RAM chip has popped up, pull it straight out of its socket.
Repeat this process if a second RAM chip is installed.
