Hey guys!
This is my first time posting here.
I’ve watched the ifix video and decided to change my Macs RAM but for some reason id didn’t go well. When I assembled all again and tried to turn the Mac Mini on I got the led but I don’t get video. Tried to put back again the Mac factory RAM and now when I turn on I got just a pulsing led and a sound of wind (it comes from the speakers)
So with my bought memories from corsair (Mac memory) I get the still led light and with old memories back I got a pulsing led light.
What should I do next?

thanks
 
What operating system version are you running? Knowing that might help others to figure this out.

I don't know what the issue is here, but in case you haven't tried these already here are some possible ways to start troubleshooting:

  1. Reset NVRAM/PRAM: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204063
  2. Start up in Safe Mode: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/start-up-your-mac-in-safe-mode-mh21245/mac
  3. If you have a bootable external drive, try starting up with that instead of the internal drive: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-your-mac-startup-disk-mchlp1034/mac
  4. Double-check that the RAM is seated properly.
  5. Try starting up with just one of the factory RAM sticks installed.

hello! Thanks for your answer!

last night I tried again and noticed that the Ram wasn’t quite plugged. If you don’t pay attention to the behind memory you may miss it

thanks for the space here guys!
