Hello, in the process of replacing the HDD of my new MD388LL/A with a SSD, instead of prying the IR sensor connector out of the socket, I pried the entire socket off of the logic board. The inconvenient result of this is that my Mac mini power light no longer works. (I don’t have a remote control, but I imagine that wouldn’t work either.) This broken connector / socket is VERY small and has 5 wires, and there’s no way I could fix it. But, maybe I could make the connection for one or two of the wires. Does anyone know what each of the 5 wires controls? I would love to get my power light working again. Thanks! -Michael
Soldering on logic boards is not a DIY project. It requires special tools, solder & lots and lots of practice… however a local electronics shop may be willing to take that task on for you. Not every project can be DIY If this Answer is helpful please remember to return and mark it Accepted.
