Apple now offering free repairs for M2 Mac minis with 'no power' issue

Apple has announced the global launch of a new service program for the Mac mini due to a "very small percentage" of units that may not power on, for which Apple has not provided an explanation to date. Affected devices include Mac minis manufactured between June 16, 2024 and November 23, 2024. Even if the error has not occurred, eligible devices can still be serviced for free by Apple or an authorized service provider.

Users not affected by the problem are advised to check here whether they are potentially affected by the error by entering the serial number: a data backup can be made accordingly. Users can then contact an authorized Apple Service Provider or make an appointment at an Apple Store. Apple provides information on how to prepare the Mac for service on a separate page. The service is available to eligible Mac mini models for three years after the first retail sale of the device. If the Mac Mini has any damage that prevents it from being repaired, this must - as usual - be repaired beforehand and may be subject to a charge.
