sounds possible your motherboard is faulty
Tried holding the power button as I plugged in the power cord. No diff. Just a
thought that if there was a bad temp sensor it might have this behavior.
when you say "the mini remains off" when you hit the power button, but
the fan runs, does anything else happen -- drive access? LED lights?
if you have one can you boot from an external drive?
there's a chance that it's just the HD temp sensor wire that got left
unplugged, but you said it was checked
beyond that, it probably stopped being able to boot because of a
motherboard failure, not an overtemp condition
Guess I have a new doorstop.
well, you could part it out, or look for a good motherboard on eBay (no
idea how easy that would be to find)
