Hello, I’m trying to repair a mid-2010 Mac Mini (A1347, EMC 2364) for a friend. There was a power cut while he was using it, and he could no longer power it on. I first thought about the power supply, but I was able to read 12V with my multimeter. Is there common hardware issues that I could check (a fuse?) before I try to change the motherboard? Thanks.
I know next to nothing about these units but the following seems to suggest there might be a couple more areas you may want to research before attempting any hardware repairs: Still getting EFI error tones after replacing PRAM battery This may or may not be of use. Mac mini Mid 2010 Repair If considering doing hardware repairs to the unit, you might as well just go ahead and open it to check voltages, fuse presence, a visual inspection for damaged components/traces, cold/cracked solder joints or loose connectors. At least you are one step of most of the participants asking here…..you actually own a multimeter! lol :-)
