[QUOTE="juan, post: 1166282, member: 185574"] Hello guys, I bought an intel mac mini 1176 1GB RAM 2.0GHz at the end of 2008 and it's until now that I'm starting to use it. I have it connected to a Pioneer Plasma monitor via DVI-DVI (Also tried DVI-HDMI), only other thing connected is a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 USB Keyboard, and the power cable. Whenever i press the power button, it would turn the LED on for a couple of seconds and then start blinking steadily. the DVD drive will start to spin and then keep spinning slowly (or so it sounds like). I tried putting in the Install disk in so it's now stuck inside. The fan comes on (not that I could hear it, I can tell by the warm air blowing out the vent). No signal to the monitor (it goes to sleep, and if I force it on it says NO INPUT SIGNAL). No chime or other sound other than the DVD spinning and reading. I've tried, WIN ALT P R (APPLE OPTION P R), ALT (OPTION) alone, I've tried resetting the PMC, which is done by holding the power button for 5 seconds with the power cable disconnected, tried a little longer as I read that it may take more than 5 seconds. I've opened it and checked t he CMOS battery (measures at 3.048V so it should be good), I reseated the memory slots, even exchanged their positions. The only thing to try yet, are the memory modules one by one as I read that mac memory is flimsy and easy to fail. Hard to think about it on a computer stored on it's original packing. I'm doing this test tonight. I'm new to mac (talk about a bad first impression) so any advice, even the most obvious one is welcome, as there maybe something easy I'm just missing. Thanks in advance, for your help. juan [/QUOTE]
