To re-seat the new modules, place them into the slots, ensuring you have the correct orientation for the pins, and press them firmly down in the same angle which they were when popped free of the metal clips. The memory will spring upwards when free. To release the memory, gently spread the thin metal clips holding the modules. With the cage removed, pull the rubber stoppers off at the same angle (you may need to wiggle them free a bit). With the screws removed, slide the memory cage diagonally, at the same angle which the RAM modules are fitted. Remove the four (4) T6 screws from the outside of the cage. With the logic board unearthed, only a metal cage and some rubber guards keep you from the memory modules. If you didn’t fully unplug the power cable, do so now. Pull the logic board out of the case and place the case aside.
Once you get it moving a bit, you can also gently push the heatsink to push out the logic board. With those removed, you can use a Mac Mini Logic Board removal tool or be ghetto like me and use two small screwdrivers to lever the logic board out of the casing. To remove the logic board, unscrew the two (2) T10 (or T9) screws in the upper middle of the logic board. If there is not enough room to disconnect it fully at this moment, do not worry as you will be able to do so once you begin sliding out the logic board. Next, unplug the big power connector on the right-hand side. With the unit oriented with the ports facing you, disconnect the small cable in the far back (indicator light I believe?). Disconnect the cable from the logic board (the connector goes straight up). Remove those four screws and lift the fan up. With the unit turned so the ports are facing away from you, the screws are along the two sides at an angle, on the bottom left, and bottom right. The fan is held on by four (4) T6 screws.
Use a T6 (or your TR6) to remove the screw from the bracket then pop off the cable from the logic board. Slide the plate off to the side to reveal a screw holding the antenna cable in place.
