I have an Early 2009 Mac Mini 3,1 that doesn't turn on. It had been in storage close to two years and I wanted to test some software on it. When I press the power button absolutely nothing happens. Prior to putting it in storage, it booted and ran perfectly.
I've tried the usual stuff... Replaced the CR2032 battery. Triple checked connections and reseated RAM and daughter card (the part that the optical drive and hard drive are connected to). Swapped out RAM with different modules. Swapped to known good power supply. Have I missed anything?
I have a second identical model that runs 24/7. I have no idea why this one died while being in storage...
