[QUOTE="juan, post: 1166328, member: 185574"] [b]Steady LED![/b] Hi, after taking out each memory and fiddling with it, I determined there's one 512MB DIMM that makes the light blink. So now I have the machine with just one 512MB memory stick and it turns ON to a steady led, some DVD activity but no video and no chime (I assume the chime comes from the internal speaker, I have no speakers attached) So two questions now, 1) What memory and how much would the mac mini accept? Back at the time of purchase it was 2GB, however I may think that now may accept up to 4GB? What memory brand is recommended for this, as from what I've read Macs are really finicky about memory. 2) Would the fact that is connected to a 1080p TV Kind of monitor (even if it's through DVI-DVI) be a factor? I have another 1920x1200 monitor, which iI can try to use. I don't think it should make a difference. Thanks in advance! j [/QUOTE]
