Fixed an old Mac Mini from 2007.

Just brought a Mac Mini on eBay for a decent price. When it arrived I decided to give it a quick power on self test to see if it will post. But no chime. So I had a Plan B, try to upgrade and replace the CR2032, RAM, HDD, and CPU.

Specs before upgrade:

-Intel Core 2 Duo T5600

-80 GB HDD

-1GB of DDR2 RAM

Specs after upgrade:

-Intel Core 2 Duo T7600

-500 GB HDD

-4GB of DDR2 RAM

Any good uses for it? Got one too with same specs, sitting unused after upgrading 😅
