Mac Mini A1347 Status Light Indicator

Hello All,

I have an interesting problem.

I bought a Mac Mini A1347 from Facebook Marketplace from an IT seller. He upgraded the RAM to 16GB along with a 1TB SSD, but in the midst of that, he said he must have bumped something because the front status light indicator does not function. The computer still works without issues, start up, and setup were like out of the box.

Is there a repair option for the status indicator light?

Thank you in advance,

TG

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR ANSWER! It means a lot and make sense.

Would replacing the power supply fix if the indicator is burnt out or the connection got damaged?

Thats the hope! Unless the logic board connect its self is damaged so when you replace the PS check it.
