Mac Mini boot issue at home

Sounds like there is a problem with the outlet that you are plugging the Mac mini into.

As a test, try plugging the Mac mini into a different outlet in a different part of your home.

If the Mac mini works in a different outlet, then have an electrician test that original wall circuit.

If the Mac mini doesn't work in any wall circuits, then have the electrician test for a wiring problem.

Troubleshooting Mac Charge:
