Mac mini 2010 doesn't work

Hello,

Have the problem that my Mac Mini mid 2010 no longer starts.

When I turn it on, the LED turns on and the fan runs, but the screen remains black.  After a short time, the Mac Mini will start beeping 3x short 3x long 3x short.  But what does that mean?

On the Apple side, I only find 3x long 3x short 3x long which indicates an EFI update error, but mine beeps the other way round.  What could that be?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I've encountered both and both are related to EFI failure.
