Mac mini
Hello & a warm welcome! 🙂
Which exact Mini, & what is the 2z691-****-A number on the Instal Disc?
What exactly does doesn't accept mean?
Hi and thanks for the Welcome. It's a 2011 Mac Mini. My husband gave me it after getting a Mac Book Pro. He thoroughly wiped the drive from it. When going to set it up for the first time I assumed that I needed to put in the OSX Snow Leopard disc as it wasn't displaying anything monitor wise. I have been unable to eject the disc since then. So I can't give you the # on it. The disc didn't change any of its behavior. Nor did trying other monitors. So I'm at a loss here as to how to proceed.
Thanks for your response and help.
Try booting up holding the c key or alt key.
To eject it, hold mouse button down while booting up.
You probably need USB Mouse & KB to do this.
Thanks again for your help. It took me awhile to find a USB KB and Mouse. However they are both older Windows ones. I'd been trying earlier with a blutooth mouse and KB with no luck. I tried your suggestions with no luck so far. There still remains no change. The power light flashed at one point when I tried booting with the alt key and then turned off, but nothing else happened that was visible.
Thank you so much for your help so far. Any additional suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Did the Disc eject holding the Mouse button?
If not it seems serious & likely requires profession help, or at least diagnosis. 😟
Mac Mini drive wiped. Won't accept utility disc and won't display on multiple monitors that have been tried. Power light remains on.
