Question 1

Which Mac mini models do you repair?

Accepted Answer

Mac mini (2014, 2018 Intel), Mac mini M1 (A2348, 2020), Mac mini M2 (A2686, 2023), Mac mini M2 Pro (A2686, 2023), and Mac mini M4 / M4 Pro (A3617, 2024).

Question 2

My Mac mini M1 has no power. Is this repairable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. No-power Mac mini faults are very commonly caused by failed power supply components or a power rail fault on the logic board. Both are repairable through microsoldering. The Mac mini's compact power supply is also fully serviceable.

Question 3

Mac mini is running very hot and throttling. Is this a logic board fault?

Accepted Answer

Thermal throttling in a Mac mini can be caused by dust accumulation (common), failed thermal paste, a faulty fan, or in rarer cases a power rail fault causing incorrect voltage to the chip. We diagnose the specific cause before recommending repair.

Question 4

Can the Mac mini M2 Pro logic board be repaired?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for surrounding component faults. The M2 Pro chip integrates CPU, GPU, and RAM — these cannot be replaced at die level. However, USB-C controllers, PCIe/NVMe storage circuits, HDMI controller, power management, and board traces are all repairable.

Question 5

Is Mac mini logic board repair worth it vs buying a new machine?

Accepted Answer

Generally yes — Mac mini is the most cost-effective Mac to own and repair. An M1 Mac mini replacement costs R 15,000+; most logic board repairs are R 2,000–R 4,500. We will give you an honest comparison at the assessment stage.
