We remove the fan cowling, eager to get at the Wi-Fi antenna plate.
-
We are really starting to suspect that Dr. Emmett Brown had something to do with this mini as the antenna board and grille look identical to the last two renditions.

The first component off the logic board assembly is the speaker assembly.
-
The speaker cable was arranged in a twisted pair, probably to reduce EMI that could distort the sweet, iconic tones of the Apple startup sound.

The heat sink is next to go.

Apple has really keyed in on their boomerang-style heat sink abilities—and for that, we applaud them. We know boomerangs can be tough to master.
-
Similar, again! We have not tried installing old 2011 mini parts in the 2012 mini, but we are certainly not ruling out the possibility!

A series of screws and tightly wrapped antenna cables secure the rear I/O panel shield to the logic board.
-
A few twists of our precision aluminum driver with a T6 Torx bit and some cable de-routing is all it takes to remove the shield.

Tucked away neatly near the rear of the mini is the hard drive.
-
Our model came with a 500 GB Hitachi hard drive.
-
The mini is one of the Macs launched with the Fusion Drive.
-
Apple's Fusion Drive is not to be confused with the Impulse Fusion Drive of Star Trek.

Next up, we displace the power of the mini.
-
It is beginning to feel repetitive to say how repetitive Apple is in the design of the mini; nonetheless, the power supply appears identical to last year's model.
-
Just like last year, the power supply provides 85 watts to the Mac mini—that's the same kind of electric juice as the AC adapter for a 15" or 17" MacBook Pro.

Mac mini Mid 2012 Repairability: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

No proprietary screws are found within the device.

You can easily upgrade your RAM and hard drive, as well as add a secondary drive.
-
There's no glue anywhere inside that needs to be removed while disassembling the mini.
-
The CPU is soldered to the logic board and not user-upgradeable.
-
While not difficult to do, you still have to remove almost all the internals in order to replace the power supply.

Hello,
I see that Mac mini Late 2012 have a Hitachi HTS545050A7E362 HDD
What kind of SATA connection have that Hitachi HDD?
And what kind of SATA connection have Mac mini Late 2012? SATA II or SATA III?
Regards
when reinstalling the heatsink did you notice the heatsink does not 100% connect to the platform hub?
even when screwed down tight and new thermal paste applied there is still a paper thin gap between heatsink and platform controller hub
can anyone else confirm this???
thanks
