I have a mac mini m4 which I have been using since more than a year, for the past 6 months it's been used by my family. Now I am back and I found out that when I plugged in my phone to the type c port, both the front usb ports are not working. everything is working perfectly fine on the 3 thunderbolt ports at the back. I have tried software update, checking the ports for dust but it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.
Mac mini, macOS 26.7
Maybe you have or maybe you haven't but have you tried different cables and plugging in different devices?
One device/cable not working doesn't mean the ports are bad.
some people report that usb-c ports in general are a bit less tough then other ports
maybe if the family bend it a bit upwards or downwards they broke the connector?
its the jack which is not working not the usb-c cable port.
