For these old ones (and even newer things), it’s not worth it to send it out to repair/troubleshoot. It’s likely going to cost more than the machine itself. You just have to do it yourself. And it’s fun too (sometimes lol)
Very nice find. Glad to see you got the one with the AMD GPU. Mine only has the Intel onboard graphics. By the way, you can put two hard drives into those things. You can get a kit that gives you the brackets and connectors. It is not too hard to pull the whole thing out of the case to install them.

I got a couple of Mac Mini's that were being sent to the dump. Swapping out the hard drive for an SSD was a little tricky since there are two mounting pins for the drive deep inside the chassis. If you wiggle in the new drive in about half way, then lift up the drive to a flat position with a loop of tape or a suction cup, you can align the drive to fit into the mounting pins.

Good find. Usually when you deal with the SSD/HD you also remove the fan and the little black curve cover. I found it much easier to connect the silver shielding if you fold a piece of white printer paper in the long way to put behind the SSD and to have the MM in an upright position so you can position the 2 screws in the bottom to the case.This would push and align the SSD hole to the silver wi fi shield to lock with the screws.

Ive got 3 of those. 2x Mac Mini 2012 and a Mac Mini 2011 Server edition! Also just like the Mac Mini 2011 Server Editions have 2 sata cables you can also put 2 sata cables on your 2012 mac mini.

@@schvabek It is a Late 2012 Mini with a 2.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7. I have the memory maxed out at 16 GB. It still has the original 1 TB Fusion drive. I keep meaning to update it with a larger SSD. At times it can be a little slow but it does fine with the standard consumer or office type software such as browsers, MS Office, etc. What is really slow though is I have a Windows 10 PC virtual machine under Parallels. But I have migrated those applications to an HP workstation. I have Catalina for the OS but I wish I would have left it on Sierra since I used Cover Flow regularly. At some point I will buy a new Mini or possibly a Studio to replace it but probably not until the base RAM and storage is more than what I have now on this 12 year old machine. I also still use the original Thunderbolt monitor.
I got mine for $17 with 8gb ram already installed but with bad hdd. I put an ssd into and it works kinda fine. But problem is it's too old and the intel hd in there is not really supported by newer macos anymore. I think windows or linux might be a better os for this mac.
@@Negiku Hey, you mean the Intel processor? Yeah, it’s like second gen i5 in my case, which really hurts the performance for intensive loads. But for casual browsing/productivity it does the job. I’ll be experimenting with Linux on this thing and comparing the performance to macOS. Cheers!

The AMD GPU might be a nice bonus (it's not incredible, but it sure is better than the Intel iGPU), but that generation of Radeon had massive soldering and overheating problems, it's actually kinda impressive that this one is still working and I wonder if that's why you had to much problems with booting initially, I've seen them making the Mac just show a solid white screen or simply refusing to boot altogether. I would certainely try to repaste it if you want to actually use it, it's only a matter of time before it dies and it's a good idea to delay it as much as possible.
Hey, thanks a lot for the advice! Yeah, so far it seems to be running just fine, I had no graphical and/or performance issues.

With 4 GB of RAM on this machine, it's best to stick Linux Mint in there instead of running outdated versions of OSX which by now are full of security issues. Linux Mint would be up to date, and it will let you run Steam. Mint loads at 1.3 GB of RAM (I'm assuming OSX needs about 2 GB, and Windows 3.5 GB). You will need to use ethernet during installation in order to install the non-free wifi driver afterwards.

My first Linux variant was Ubuntu-based ElementaryOS. It just LOOKS like macOS. After experimenting with DOZENS of different Linux distributions, I settled on Linux Mint.
There's lots to learn...but if an old man in his 7th decade of life can do it, then so can you! Aloha!

I have something similar to your configuration but "different" I have a 2013 Mac Pro trash can (those are really cheap right now) and a Windows PC next to, in the same monitor, you can use a Logitech MK keyboard and mouse because you can pair them via bluetooth and just change what maching is using it with a buton (same with MX mouse), I really recommend that kind of stuff for this type of use
@@MRHOTCAKE Hey, that’s awesome, I always wanted to have a trash can Mac Pro just to play around with lol. Maybe I’ll find one for cheap some day too. Yeah, I really like the wireless setup with multiple devices, it really makes using and transitioning between them a breeze. Cheers!

Odlican video. Lako mozes da upgradujes macos na macos 11 uz pomoc opencore legacy patchera. Ako planiras da koristis taj mac obavezno zameni termalnu pastu, posto on ako se ne varam ima amd grafiku koja moze da crkne zbog pregrevanja, to se desilo mom macbooku iz 2011. I dalje ne verujem kako si uspeo da ga nadjes za samo 10e :)
@@acaaca-x7c Hej, hvala na komentaru i podršci! Je, već sam dobio hrpu komentara o svemu tome. Igrat ću se definitivno u budućim videima s opencoreom, a kad mi stigne RAM, zamijenit ću pastu i možda staviti bracket za drugi ssd. Ja sam probleme s grafikom imao samo na 2012. prou, i to je bio dobro poznat problem, pa je bio način da se softverski premosti ta grafika i radi na integriranoj. Eto, radio je 4 dana zaredom, i još sam ga stiskao da vidim hoće li prožvakat to sve, i sve pet zasad.

Another great video, man you really are committed. That old Mac Mini deserved a second life. I always wanted a Mac Mini but never got around to buy one. Would be interesting to see Ubuntu or Mint running on this machine. I will check our listings. It’s a good idea to buy a machine listed as defective. In the worst case scenario you wasted 10 bucks, in your case you got yourself a great backup machine to play with. How did you go with these Chinese ram?
Hey, man, glad you’re enjoying my videos! I just got the parts from china, so we’ll be testing them out in a future video! Keep on the lookout, I’m sure you’ll find one just like this, they are quite fun to mess around with (even though they do have a graphics issue). Cheers!

Ive got 3 of those. 2x Mac Mini 2012 and a Mac Mini 2011 Server edition! Also just like the Mac Mini 2011 Server Editions have 2 sata cables you can also put 2 sata cables on your 2012 mac mini. Theres another port for it under the fan that if im right used to be for the DVD Drive. This could be useful if you dont have a Server Edition but want 2 disks in your Mac Mini. Also be aware. Some 2011 Mac Minis have a broken mini display port

I use a 2012 Mac Mini daily.
@@MichaelMarquez-m3b Hey, that’s awesome! Are you happy with the performance? What configuration do you have?
@@schvabek It is a Late 2012 Mini with a 2.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7. I have the memory maxed out at 16 GB. It still has the original 1 TB Fusion drive. I keep meaning to update it with a larger SSD. At times it can be a little slow but it does fine with the standard consumer or office type software such as browsers, MS Office, etc. What is really slow though is I have a Windows 10 PC virtual machine under Parallels. But I have migrated those applications to an HP workstation. I have Catalina for the OS but I wish I would have left it on Sierra since I used Cover Flow regularly. At some point I will buy a new Mini or possibly a Studio to replace it but probably not until the base RAM and storage is more than what I have now on this 12 year old machine. I also still use the original Thunderbolt monitor.
@@MichaelMarquez-m3b That’s very cool. I always like hearing about people getting great life/value out of their systems. Keep on using it! Cheers! 🤟
This still a very good machine if you use it for not too demanding programs
I totally agree. Could use it as a daily driver actually if it came down to it.
I got mine for $17 with 8gb ram already installed but with bad hdd. I put an ssd into and it works kinda fine. But problem is it's too old and the intel hd in there is not really supported by newer macos anymore. I think windows or linux might be a better os for this mac.
@@Negiku Hey, you mean the Intel processor? Yeah, it’s like second gen i5 in my case, which really hurts the performance for intensive loads. But for casual browsing/productivity it does the job. I’ll be experimenting with Linux on this thing and comparing the performance to macOS. Cheers!

Change the thermal paste on the CPU heatsink. Fans should slow right down, and the installation might have been a thermal issue that made it shut down
Hey, thanks for the advice! I don’t think thermals are the issue, I’ve ran it for hours on end, including graphically intensive stuff (games too), no issues what so ever. But changing the thermal paste is definitely something to do, perhaps when I upgrade the ram.
@@schvabek i think the fan issues come from a missing temperature probe, on my 2010 mac mini the fan goes full blast without the temp sensors

The AMD GPU might be a nice bonus (it's not incredible, but it sure is better than the Intel iGPU), but that generation of Radeon had massive soldering and overheating problems, it's actually kinda impressive that this one is still working and I wonder if that's why you had to much problems with booting initially, I've seen them making the Mac just show a solid white screen or simply refusing to boot altogether. I would certainely try to repaste it if you want to actually use it, it's only a matter of time before it dies and it's a good idea to delay it as much as possible.
Hey, thanks a lot for the advice! Yeah, so far it seems to be running just fine, I had no graphical and/or performance issues. I did have a graphics card fail on me on the infamous 2012 MacBook Pro model, and I remember disabling it and running it on the integrated graphics. I’ll be repasting the CPU/GPU once my memory arrives! 🤟

It’s trivial to pull out the motherboard to properly install the SSD. I think you were looking at bad instructions. It’s a simple process.

With 4 GB of RAM on this machine, it's best to stick Linux Mint in there instead of running outdated versions of OSX which by now are full of security issues. Linux Mint would be up to date, and it will let you run Steam. Mint loads at 1.3 GB of RAM (I'm assuming OSX needs about 2 GB, and Windows 3.5 GB). You will need to use ethernet during installation in order to install the non-free wifi driver afterwards.
