[QUOTE="Daddy Elmis, post: 1012108, member: 16533"] Looking for some thoughts before I get my hands on this unit. Bought my dad a used mac mini last fall. It's a 2007 model, Intel Core Duo unit. All was find and dandy until early this week. Dad reports he came home, fired up the unit, checked email etc., and went on about his business (did not shut down or sleep the machine). Came back a while later to the machine powered down. Now it won't power up at all. No light, no fan, no nothing. Have tried most of the obvious stuff -- unplug everything and try to start; confirm the outlet he's using is good; tried resetting the SMC -- still nothing. There's no apple store where he lives, so I'm probably going to have him send the mini to me to see if I can make anything good happen. Other than the possibility that the power adapter is bad (is that a likely issue?), anything else other than a dead logicboard (and thus dead unit)? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
