Apple has been making stylish and user-friendly computers for years. One of these computers, the iMac, is an increasingly popular desktop model. A notable benefit of owning one of these models is that most of the simple repairs and upgrades can be performed yourself, without the help of a service technician. This includes accessing and replacing your iMac's memory, or RAM (Random Access Memory) in order to upgrade your system's speed and capacity. You'll find that this procedure is a pretty simple one that you can complete quickly.
Things You'll Need:
- Phillips screwdriver
- Step 1
Turn off your iMac and place it face down on a table or other sturdy surface. You can protect the LCD screen by placing it over a towel or large cloth.
- Step 2
Flip the bottom plastic stand up to reveal the memory slot located in the middle of the bottom of the LCD screen. It is covered by a rectangular panel which is secured by a single screw.
- Step 3
Remove the single screw located in the middle of the rectangular memory slot cover, using the screwdriver. Remove the cover to reveal two internal ports which house memory modules.
- Step 4
Pull the thick black plastic tab on the end of the memory module out of the port so it is sticking out far enough for you to grab it.
- Step 5
Grab the end of the tab and pull the memory module gently and easily out of the port. Repeat the process with the second memory module located directly next to it. At this point you will have removed the memory from your iMac.
