Mac mini mid 2011 won't boot

This morning I found my Mac mini mid 2011 frozen. I shut it down by holding the power button.


Now it does not boot. When I turn it on I don't hear the usual chime sound or any other beeps. I can hear the hard drive powering on and the fan starts to work at full speed. Nothing appears on the monitor. No output signal at all.


I have tried disconnecting all cables, press power button for five seconds and the. Try to boot again. No luck...


Any ideas?? I loads of work to do and I am loosing hope. No apple stores in Greece to take it in...

Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

I've tried everything including SMC rreset. No luck.

One other clue is that if try to boot up without Ram installed, it recognizes that ram is missing and beeps



so to summarize the symptoms:


1. Computer has power

2. No chime sound or any other beep when I power the computer on

3. Fan works at full speed

4. No output display signal

5. I can hear the hard drive powering on

6. The computer recognizes if you try to boot it without ram and beeps
