[QUOTE="MRSWEET, post: 1516920, member: 302551"] Hi All, I got my Grandad a 2006 Mac Mini, however after 3 weeks (fully working) it just died. Literally nothing works, no fans no light just completely dead. Took it into Apple and they tried a new PSU and that didn't work, then they said it's more than likely power issues however because it's 6 years old they discontinue the hardware after 5 years so if they caused further damage they wouldn't be able to fix it so they won't diagnose it either. So buying a new motherboard proves impossible as it costs around £120+ I only paid £120 for it in the first place. So getting into the technical issues is there anything I can do? maybe test the voltage on certain parts of the motherboard to see what the faulty part is, I have one of those digital voltage testers so that's not a problem but I'd like to know what to test on the motherboard or other parts.
