I performed a transplant on my mac mini 2009 - the taller white top one.
Removed all antennas, and ran some of the terminal scripts posted on this site. AND removed power to the fan.
Woow that gave a mayor boost in dimension and soundstage depth.
BUT then after 45mins it died on me, I guessed properly due to overheating, it was a little more than hand worm on the outside, nothing wild.
The day after I fired it up again, an now it ran for only 20mins and died, being a lot colder on the outside.
Can we say something about what that is? Overheating, or did I fry some vital organs in my strive for perfection?
