Mac Mini Mid 2011 no power, ticking noise

Hi!
I hope someone could help me.

My Mac Mini Mid 2011 doesn’t power on but I hear clicking (or ticking noise). I replaced the power supply, it didn’t help.

Are there any ideas how to fix it?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Can you give us a bit more here... What happened, did you smell something burning, do you use a surge suppressor or UPS, did anything else stop working at the same time?

@danj There's nothing odd to be honest. It doesn't smell like anything. I plug it through APC surge protector. Got the mac mini at the thrift store

@Ilia Miltykh - So you haven't owned it from the start and you bought it in this state, is that correct?
