Hi, 05 April 25 Just downloaded latest update and now monitor tells me no cable connected.
I tried two more cables then an HDMI cable but no good.
Plugged my laptop to monitor via HDMI and came up straight away on Benq monitor so monitor working as should.
Is there some way I can access the Mac Mini to maybe reset without being set to monitor?
Thank You.
Russ.

Did you power down completely, wait 1 minute, then power back on? That may help with this issue.

Thank you for replies, have been on with a Mac expert and unable to get it to work, my son taken it to try on a different monitor tonight if does not work have to go back to the expert tomorrow, if that doesn't work only option is to travel on 120 mile round trip to the nearest Apple shop.
As I have three year protection I thought they would send someone to my home but don't no how I stand on that.

You can probably arrange for shipping it to the repair depot, saving the round trip. Takes a bit longer, but Apple is good a quick turnarounds. Go through the Apple.com support area to get it set up. They even sent me a box to put my Mac in for shipping to them.

Thank you for that if I have to go back to them I will ask about that option.

Well the good news is FIXED!!! how? I have no idea, my son took it home to try on his monitor but could not get it to work, came back with it today so I plugged it into my TV's HDMI port and it loaded correctly, now back to monitor via USB-C and working as should.
