MAC MINI will not power on after HD upgrade
I performed the dual HD upgrade to my MAC MINI late 2012. using the instructions, and the iFixit kit. The MAC MINI will not power on at all. I checked to make sure that I connected the power cable correctly. I have taken it apart and put it back together 2 more times. Nothing. I am an electrical engineer with 25 yrs experience and I have built many computers over the years, I was very careful, I am very surprised at the result. It just will not power on.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Did you try it without the HD connected?

THank you for your response. No, I can try that. The replacement HD(s) are Crucial 512GB SSDs. I Copied the stock Mac 1TB spinning drive using CCC to clone the system to one of the 512s. Then I test booted the 512 in the Firewire external chassis. I will have to take the fan off to disconnect the HD's from the logic board. I know the HDs are good. I formatted the other one HFS+. I have both drives installed. I will try disconnecting the HDs, but I am probably going to restore the unit to it's original 1Tb HD config and try that. If it still does not work them I will ship it back to Apple. Needless to say I am less than Happy. It's a brand new unit.
