[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1063219, member: 61091"] I got my mac mini in 2019, I recall it was 2018 model, ran it with 4k display. Used it mostly for "work" but lately just as monitor for security cams. It ran 24/7/365. This morning found the display black, power light off, and cold to touch. Can it be revived? Closest Apple store is 4 hour drive at 75 mph. Was running current sonoma. I liked having it but not essential. Is it worth a trek to Apple store? Or maybe a trade-in, I have a dead macbook pro too. I'm just sure the way that I would want to spec a new mini, I can no longer afford... ideas welcome. EDIT +10 min: son stopped by, he looked at Mini, and found that the UPS had powered OFF overnight I guess, and its battery went dead. Powered up UPS and we booted the Mini, ok... so happy days are here again (but only in a relative way). [/QUOTE]
