I followed these direction to upgrade my ram from 2 512MB chips to 2 1GB chips. They were simple, but I hit a snag somewhere because when I went to turn back on my computer the light on the slide just blinked several times and no start up ocurred. How do you know that the new RAM chips are in sufficiently? Do you have to press them in until they click or lock? Mine just slid in and are somewhat "loose" still.
thanks!
Madeline I have the same question about re inserting the ram but can't find an answer
did you?

I have followed the steps and the computer kept crashing when i started it with the RAM. Once i put the old pne back in, it started as smootly as before: i think these RAMs are not compatible with the A1181 model.
I don't know why some people are mentioning a torx. This is a regular phillips. Had one laying around from my old-style mac mini upgrade. It couldn't be easier. It's almost like the new style mac mini ram upgrade. So effortless.
Please note. The ram modules have to be pushed all the way in until they click in place. You have to push them quite hard to do this. If the ram modules just slide in until they stop then they won’t make contact.
