i broke the temperature sensor of the harddisk, while replacing it. the small board with the smd sensor broke in two peaces.

So where can i get a replacement? Or i can i simply solder a normal temperature dependent resistor?

I looked around, but found only cable for older mac mini models, an i am not sure, if they also fit in the A1347.

Kind regards

I think it would be very very very good if Apple added an Expresscard slot in the Mac Mini. Sadly, Apple didn't.

I was wondering if the connection of the wireless card is just a PCI-Express lane on a different connector cable. If it is, theoretically it would be possible to convert it into an ExpressCard slot right?

Of course, it would involve milling the aluminum enclosure and whatnot, but has any tinkerer looked into it to see if it is feasible?

The wire in question is connected via a connector to the board- but the other end has a small circuit board on it and is floating around. It looks identical to one that is attached (just glued?) to the hard disk connector. it looks easy enough to replace - if I knew what it was supposed to be attached to. Just need to know what part to buy. :-)

For reference, I bought this computer from someone who had already taken in apart once - so I can't be sure the wires were intact when i took it apart. I can easily point out what I'm talking about with a picture.

The directions on this site were awesome! Very easy - only problem is that damned wire!

I was playing cs:go from Bootcamp, and then wanted to reboot to OSX. I closed everything and chose "Reboot in Mac OS X". It was fine until computer restarted at Apple logo and didn't display anything at all.

I hear startup chime.

I hear cooler spinning.

I hear hard-drive spinning.

I see power indicator.

USB ports aren't working as far as i know.

No video output.

I've tried SMC/PMU resets, they didn't help.

Anyone have thoughts on this? Is it worth the effort? I assume it will make the machine much faster having the ssd drive. I could also buy a new machine but that would be quite expensive.

SMCFanControl indicates 5500 rpm and a temp of 31 degrees C. System Profiler indicates that the system recognizes that there is NO optical drive. I reopened the Mini and checked that all of the remaining connectors were properly seated. iStat Pro indicates that the heat sensors for all other components are operating correctly and reporting temps between 23C (ambient) and 32C (CPU). Apple Hardware Test reports error code 4SNS/1/c0000008: T00P--124, which I interpret as an error related to the optical drive heat sensor.

The Mac Mini functions perfectly in all respects except the constant fan at 5500 rpm and I have no optical drive. The Scorpio Blue is much more responsive, everything works and I spend much less time waiting for the spinning beach ball to complete tasks. Third party fan controllers are useless, as they will not lower the fan speed. Putting the computer to sleep from the Apple menu shuts the fan down completely. Wakeup restarts the fan immediately.

I've performed the correct sequence for SMC reset, which did not help (SMC Version system is 1.65f2). I've booted into SAFE mode, then restarted normally, which did not help. I've performed a PRAM reset through five startup chimes, no luck. The Mac Mini firmware is up-to-date. I do not have sufficient soldering skill to reattach the heat sensor connector to the motherboard (there are two conducting pads and two more mounting pads within the space of 2 mm). Will the system think that the optical drive heat sensor is present if I connect (short) the two solder pads on the motherboard for the broken optical drive heat sensor? Will that solve the problem or kill the motherboard?

However, I encountered difficulty in re-installing the Antenna Plate, particularly the two 5.0mm T8 Torx on both sides. While it was originally perfectly fit (when I tried to remove the antenna plate), it is now re-installed with only one side of the T8 torx on either one side and the two 6.6mm T8 screws in the bottom part, leaving one 5.0mm screw uninstalled. Though my mac mini worked perfectly fine without that screw.

I don't think I have damaged or transformed the antenna plate and I believe that the antenna plate was not perfectly fit out of the box. Do anyone of you encounter this problem? Any solution?

In the process of unseating one of the thermal sensors for the hard drive, the entire connection broke off the motherboard. With the broken sensor the fan now spins at 5500 RPM's constantly.

Apple wants about $400 to replace the entire logic board. Is it possible to solder the connection back to the logic board? If so, are there particular tools someone can recommend?

maybe you can help me. I bought a used mac mini 2010 (A1347), the system fan was soldered directly to the mainboard by the former owner.

But due to that it always runs at full speed and the software recognizes 0 rpm, I assume that the wires are soldered in a wrong order.

According to the numbering in the picture, which wire has to be in which order on the mainboard (beginning with the side where the RAM is located)

Things I've tried that didn't work.

1. Disconnected everything, left then powered on.

2. Reseated RAM (1 stick)

3. Swapped RAM slots

4. Connected to another Mac via Target mode and formatted the disk with a bootable image of Snow Leopard. Booted holding Option, selected disk image. Still panics.

5. Swapped hard disk with known working disk, then did step 4. Still panics.

I can't boot from optical because the optical drive won't accept media.

I don't have different memory to try, so I can't eliminate that..

At this point I'm at a loss. Anything else I can try?

Does this model can have two HDD, like server versions?

I think it is impossible because if it is possible, there's no advantage to buy server model.

If I can add HDD to normal(non-server) version of new mac mini, is there any difference with server model? (for example, hardware raid controller? does server model has it?)
