What's the problem with your Mac Mini?
No problem! Just schedule an appointment to drop off your Mac for a diagnosis. A couple hours after dropping off I'll call to let you what's wrong and rundown your repair options. If you decide to get your Mac repaired, the $50 diagnostic fee is waived.
Keeps crashing, colored spinning wheel, overall slow performance
These types of problems are often caused by a damaged file system, runaway application, corrupt preference file, or bad hard drive. Repairing the file system is usually a relatively quick fix ($65), while
more challenging problems will be fixed after my flat-rate $100 tune-up (and your computer will be running fast again). If your hard drive is bad, you'll need a replacement -- starting at $150 (parts and labor).Can't read/write some or all CDs & DVDs
As they get older, optical drives get very picky as to which CDs and DVDs they'll choose to read. An optical drive replacement starts at $165 (parts and labor). Sometimes objects get stuck in the optical drive - removing the object(s) starts at $65.
Can't connect to wireless networks or Airport connection drops-out frequently
Usually an Airport card stops working or has problems connecting because of a software conflict, fixing this problem is usually $65. Airport card replacements start at $135 (parts and labor). Often the easier and better solution to airport hardware problems is upgrading to an external USB WiFi adapter for $80 (parts and labor).
Won't boot-up, stuck on gray boot-up screen, or flashing folder with question mark
These problems are usually caused by a bad/dead/dying hard drive and/or system file damage. Corruption can usually be repaired for $65. If your hard drive is bad or damaged beyond repair, you'll need a new hard drive and fresh operating system (starts at $210, parts and labor). If your hard drive is bad/dead/dying and you need the data back, you'll want to check out my data recovery service.
Mac Mini won't turn on, makes no noise, has no signs of life
Many components could be the cause of your Mini not turning on. If not resolved relatively easily (for $65), this could be solved by replacing the power supply or logic board. Power supply replacements starts at $70 and logic board replacements start at $225 (parts and labor).
Mac Mini turns on (start-up chime works), but shows no video on display
Sometimes your Mini refuses to display an image. This may very well happen after a power outage or surge and is often fixed within an hour by "resetting" your Mini's logic board and/or reseating your RAM -- usually a $65 repair.
