In this video, I perform some minor board repair, as well as a soldered storage upgrade, to @ActionRetro’s M2 Apple Mac Mini. The board only had two very minor issues, though one component was missing. After sourcing the missing component from another board and correcting other minor soldering…

8gb and 2 tb is like Honda civic engine and Ferrari body
Where to get those original SSD chips from Crucial, Samsung or SK Hynix? I have something in my life: Never ever use flux paste onto any PCB, otherwise the guarantee is invalid. Why does everybody use flux on those modern boards?😮
This is a very well done repair. I find it interesting too that the board was able to boot with one of the NAND chips missing, I would have thought that the absence of one or the other would cause it to not POST.
on this way is possible to unlock iCloud????
Would have loved to see HDD speed test before and after.
These are hands down my favorite kinds of videos to watch on YouTube. I really enjoy seeing the in-depth upgrading of something that initially didn't have the best specs change to something better.
Could you have avoided melting that connector if you put a piece of foil shiny side up over it?
Do the M2 Pro Mac minis that can be configured to up to 8 TB instead of 2 TB max have more space for additional NAND chips to get there?
The scariest part about these Macs for me is how hard it is to bootstrap one from bare metal. With Windows/Linux/whatever, it's just a matter of plugging in external storage, CD, DVD, Floppy, whatever… This thing is a brick unless you have another system and a bunch of uncommon software to reload it.
Not a laptop but still soldered SSD and RAM. What a pathetic design from Apple
Hey dude, I quite enjoy your videos. I am hoping to refine my skills and be at that level one day. I was wondering if you have ever tinkered with an Apple TV. Specifically the 4k Apple TVs that brick with updates and have no physical usb port to restore them. Would be great to find a solution for those.
Apple: you can't upgrade these machines.
Dosdude1: hold my stencil.
Can the ram be upgraded?
Does anyone have any idea on how to source those NAND chips? Can they be purchased from China or only be obtained through donor boards?
Fake. İts not the same board. 🐀🥱
Luke Mini could never
You make that look so easy. Amazing work!
The DFU mode is handy I was not aware that was possible in my recent Macbook Air repair video where I installed the OS via USB on a broken screen. 😅
2tb storage 😎
8gb ram 💀
How long until you figure out how to upgrade the RAM on the SoC?
I wish I could do this with my M2 Max mac studio. I was forced into the base ssd because of needing the 38 core GPU 😢
Step brother stop those nands are too big for my pads
Hi plz i just want to know i want to buy a 2019 MacBook pro with icloud .Can i fix it with a good t2chip ?
