<p>Please don’t mind me asking - is it possible to upgrade the RAM in the new version of the Mac Mini from March 2020 as described for the 2018 Model? It would think so, but would like to make sure for my purchase.</p>

<title><![CDATA[Mac mini Late 2018: Does not turn on]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>When I hit the power button it does not turn on, not even the fans or the power indicator light. Press the power button for ten seconds and nothing probe with another cable and nothing just does not turn on.</p>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h3 id="Section_Update_09_27_Num_2019" class="header">Update (09/27/2019)</h3></div>

<p>I have been running Catalina Public Beta. I got a notice that an update was available, so I updated. When I came back a few hours later, my Mac Mini was shut down. No light or noise on pushing power button. Verified power available and then contacted Apple support. They verified it was still under warranty until November and made an appointment at the local store. Taking it in today and will follow up.</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi y’all,</p>

<p>Just got the latest Mac mini and I need to add an external power button to it with long wires so I can turn it on and off from a distance. In the previous models I was always able to trace back the wires to the pins and splice the cables but with this ultra flat cable now, anyone knows where I need to add my wires?</p>

<p>Thanks a bunch!</p>

<title><![CDATA[Mac mini Late 2018: 2018 Mac mini won't turn on]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi all</p>

<p>Already had another working 2018 Mac mini, so I switched the logicboard, so to test the power supply......the already working Mac mini still turn on with the psu of the system that doesn't turn on, so the psu is not the problem, tried the bad system with the psu of the one that's operational...still nothing...no light, no sound, just completely dead......also tried the fix for systems that shows same symptoms after an update (T2 restore steps with Apple Configurator). still don't see the system......so I am inclining myself to a bad chip somewhere in the logic board.....is there any basic troubleshooting steps that I can use to measure transistors continuity or any other steps that anyone is aware of...thanks!!</p>

<title><![CDATA[Mac mini Late 2018: Is the custom RAM from iFixit not working after Monterey upgrade?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I had bought the 2018 version of Mac Mini in 2020. The last intel chip in mini. I used the iFixit kit to upgrade the RAM from 8 GB to 64 GB and it worked fine for a year. Suddenly after the Mac OS Monterey update the custom RAM just does not work and keeps crashing the mac.</p>

<p>It was actually quite difficult to debug that the issue was in the RAM. Now that I have, I can reliably reproduce the issue and am now stuck with the original 8 Gigs of RAM.</p>

<p>Is anyone else having this issue ? Has anyone solved this so far ?</p>
