Mac Mini Mid 2010: Mac Mini Fan Pin assignment

Fri, 05 Jun 2020 21:47:21 -0700

Dear all,

hope you doing all well…

does anyone have any idea whats the pin assignment for the mac mini A1347 fan connector ? Since I changed the HDD/SSD the fan doesn't feedback no longer the RPM. I did attach all temp sensors and they giving a value in the macfans speed control app. However the RMP values still stays at 0. I did reset the SMC also but no effect. It seems this would have done it as when I power on the mac the speed drops but during the startup the fan increases speed again. Seems the fan doesnt feedback the signal.

Thanks and take care

Sandro

It is puzzling me, im actually mac certified as well. cant seem to figure out what exactly is going on with it. The fan run full speed when you turn it on, there is no video displayed on the screen. it does beep when no ram is placed.

Mac Mini Mid 2010: Mac Mini A1347 won't start up. LED flashes once shortly & stays dark

Hi guys,

I try to revive my old Mac Mini Mid 2010 for media center usage. As it suddenly stopped working after replacing and adding HDDs over the last couple of years, I re-opened it some days ago out of nostalgia, just to try resurrecting it again. All the components, RAM, HDD etc work on other devices, but I came across some corrosion.

Especially around the area of the power plug.

My question, is there a way to try to fix this, fuse kind of thing?

I was installing a data doubler with an SSD on my mid 2010 Mac mini and one of the black pins on the power cable broke off and the casing that holds the 5 cables snapped off the motherboard as well.

What should I do?

Mac Mini Mid 2010: Wires for optical and HDD ripped out of contact.

Fri, 18 Sep 2015 09:49:41 -0700

I followed the instructions for a later model and thus ripped out the wires for the optical drive and the Hard drive when I ejected the main body from the case.

What's the best way to replace these, small, tiny wires? The two wires are dual-wired and very flimsy.
