Hi everyone, welcome to HowFixit.
In this video guide, I gonna show you how to replace a fan in Apple Mac Mini M1 2020
(Model A2348)
To disassemble Apple Mac Mini M1 Model A2348, you will need the following tools:
Screwdriver set Plastic opening tools
Tweezers
I recommend using a magnetic mat during the repair process, which is especially useful
in case of Apple Mac Mini M1.
Throughout this disassembly, keep track of each screw so you can put them back in the
right places - this will help successfully reassemble your device.
And don't worry about losing any of screws, all of them will definitely remain on the
magnetic mat.
In the description, I left links where to buy all necessary tools.
Turn over Mac Mini and remove the bottom cover.
Using a Torx T6 screwdriver (with a hole inside), remove the screws on the metal panel.
Lift up the metal panel, remove one more screw and disconnect the Wi-Fi antenna.
Remove the screws on the fan housing.
Lift up the fan and disconnect the ribbon cable from the Apple Mac Mini M1 2020 motherboard.
If your Apple Mac Mini M1 Model A2348 has a very noisy fan, or the fan doesn't work
at all, you can replace the fan with this part number 610-00428, 923-04329.
