This video was extremely helpful. I thought I'd be able to wiggle the HHD but it was mounted the way it is here. This video saved my sanity.

Thank you for this guide, seriously I tried watching other ones but this one was the best!!! Also, an OS video would be helpful.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

There are tricks that require another Mac to get it working, are you able to boot the internet recovery with command option R?

[@NIM777]

@@ItsBinhRepaired so actually it booted up right away, but OS X was already on there and my external USB wasn’t recognized. So I used that as my clean install then updated to Catalina.

[@AlejandroCarasso]

@@ItsBinhRepaired is a ssd format M2 and type nvme disk which I want to add to my mac mini

@@AlejandroCarasso there is no slot for that.

Mac Mini has RAM soldered to MB, and cannot be replaced without Hot Air Rework and reballing the solder. There are a few videos on KZbin (dosdude is one). NOT EASY. The SSD situation: it has the cable to attach a standard SATA 2.5” drive (spinner or SSD). It accepts any SATA-standard drive. It also has the connector for an Apple-Propriatary NVMe drive. The Fusion models include the drive, and adaptors exist to use a standard M.2 NVMe. OWC sells the Apple-specific drive, if you desire original style…. For more specific info on the 2014, watch the myriad KZbinrs who have covered this.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@ernestgalvan9037 yup!

[@artistnyc123]

the little bracket that holds the fan connector (3:34) popped right off on me. Now I'm screwed. Any suggestions?

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Need to find someone that can solder it

[@joseacarrasm]

Great video, but for replacing the drive you don't need to remove the mainboard unless you are goind to add a second hard drive.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Make a video pulling the drive out without pulling the board out. Good luck.

Lol that's impossible unless the screws to hold the hard drive in place weren't put in.
