[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1063220, member: 52014"] Sorry to hear about the issues with your Mac mini. Before making a long trek to the nearest Apple store, I'd suggest trying a few troubleshooting steps: 1. Disconnect all peripheral devices (including the 4k display) and unplug the power cord from the Mac mini. Wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and try turning it on again. 2. If the power light remains off, try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC). You can do this by following Apple's instructions for resetting the SMC on a Mac mini (refer to Apple's official support website). 3. If the above steps don't work, try connecting the Mac mini to a different power outlet or using a different power cord. If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be worth contacting Apple support for further assistance. They may be able to help you troubleshoot the problem remotely or provide guidance on next steps, such as a trade-in or repair options. In terms of the trade-in or purchasing a new Mac mini, it's worth checking Apple's website or contacting their support to see if they provide any trade-in options for your dead MacBook Pro and potentially offer an upgrade at a discounted price.
