Apple has introduced a free repair program for Mac minis equipped with M2 chips that have stopped functioning. If you own one of these devices, here’s how to determine your eligibility.
According to a recent repair notice from Apple, a “very small percentage” of Mac minis manufactured between June 16 and November 23, 2024, may experience power issues. Users facing this problem can check if their device qualifies for the repair program by using the Serial Number checker available on Apple’s website.
If eligible, the repair will be conducted at no cost. To find the serial number, you can check the underside of the device, refer to the original product packaging, or look in the “About This Mac” section of the Apple menu.
However, this last option may not be feasible for those whose devices are non-operational. If your Mac mini qualifies for the program, you can schedule an appointment with any Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or visit an Apple Retail Store.
For users without a nearby AASP, it is advisable to contact Apple Support to explore other repair options. This new repair initiative is available for qualifying Mac mini models for three years from the date of the unit’s first retail sale.
However, it is essential to note that this program does not extend the standard warranty coverage associated with your Mac mini. Recently, the Mac mini celebrated its 20th anniversary, marking two decades of innovation in the computing world.
