Brand new Mini from Amazon and defective
Got a HDMI to DVI cable since my old monitor doesn't have an HDMI port.
Turned on Mini and got a flash, then a black picture on and off. Unplugged and re-plugged in the cable at the Mini HDMI port and it worked.
Figured-bad cable. Ordered a different brand (cable matters) on Amazon plugged it in and same exact thing.
Never had issues with Apple products when new, very frustrating
