At this phase, you want to eliminate all unrelated causes for the problem. The first phase of any repair is troubleshooting. So, I decided to put a short guide while I am working on the problem. Again, since I was too lazy and since I don’t really use Mac mini much, I left it in that state for several days.Īnd it would stay black screen of death unless my family bugged me for a couple of days to fix it.
However, this drastic measure did not fix the issue on hand. In fact, I always suggest to avoid it if possible, but it’s Ok to do it sometimes.
Since I was too lazy to fix it, all I did is to do a hard shutdown by holding a power button for several seconds. Last week the external monitor on my Mac mini 2012 went black.
