Ok so this weird thing happened to me: My Mac Mini 2012 power supply kinda exploded...
I needed the Mini on another station for the day so I unplugged it and (perhaps the mistake) took a random power cable.
Connected everything, power on. Switching to the keyboard... BOOM
The power cable actually flew right out the Mini with a spark. The fuses went haywire. The room went dark.
Ok so the good news:
- Nothing else was damaged
- RAM works in another machine
- SSD is fine too
- Nothing on the Board and not even the cable on the back of the ps look fried
Bad news:
- The power plug ... kinda... melted?
How could this happen?
What do you think? Has is it survived?
I already ordered a new ps.
Guessing game: DID THE MAC SURVIVE?
Is there any kind of proctection in the ps?
Thanks guys!
