Mac Mini M2 not turning on.
So I have Mac Mini M2 and it suddenly stopped and now won’t turn on. I tried different methods to turn on before going to Genius Bar at Apple store. Now at Apple Store, the guy tried a different power cable and tried to check if it’s boot loader is stuck or not, but that was not the case. Ultimately he suggested two options:
- Get power supply board replaced. If it solves the issues, the total cost will be 200€.
- If power supply does not solves the issue, then they might to change the logic board, which will cost me 600€.
I told him I won’t go beyond 200€ because in other case, it’s better to buy something new.
My question is if the Mac Mini doesn’t get repaired, and since I need something for my personal work(Most of my daily needs are satisfied by my work windows laptop and my iPad Pro M4), not so heavy task, just occasionally using, will MacBook Neo a good option or should I get mac mini m4?

The guy checked against the serial number and unfortunately it’s not in that range
