2012 Mac mini. Dead?
My Mac mini won't start up anymore. When I hit the power button, the light in front goes on. However, there is no startup chime or video. After a few seconds, the fan goes into hyperdrive.
I've unplugged it, then plugged it back in after 15 seconds. I've tried to zap the nvram. I've taken out the RAM that I added, and reinstalled the original chip to make sure the ram is OK. I've taken it apart and tested the hard drive - it mounts when I connect it to my iMac, and I can view my files. While I had it open, I tested the 2032 battery; it was down fairly low (but not dead) so I replaced it with another. Still has the same problem. I'm set to trash it at this point, unless someone out there sees something that I missed. Thanks for looking!
