I had an old 2010 base model Mac mini sitting in closet storage for many years. I took it out and hooked it up to a monitor and upgraded its OS X to Sierra all the way from Mountain Lion.
With its base 2GB RAM it was a struggle just to install OS.
I then took out the rams from my 2012 Mac mini (2x2GB) and inserted it into the 2010 mini and brought it to Korea without testing it.
For the first time after the ram upgrade I turn on the Mac mini and it starts beeping and won’t display anything on our 4K TV or even the 27’ Thunderbolt Display or a Samsung monitor.
I am aware that if I inserted the wrong RAM it makes that noise.
The original RAM was
1GB 1066mhz 8500 DDR3
And new ram I put in is
2GB 1333mhz 10600 DDR3
Do I need the exact same speed RAM?
I tried doing all the basics like resetting PRAM and inserting just one RAM etc..
