Mac mini 2018 boots to macOS installation My 2018 Mac mini (i5/256/32, Sonoma 14.1.1) has been unplugged from mains power for about 24 hrs, and when I turned it on there was no chime and no video (using USB-C connection to LG monitor). I tried several restarts and eventually the Apple symbol appeared - again, no chime - and I was presented with the macOS setup screen (choose language). I notice that the Mini seems to be hotter than usual. Booting with Cmd+R again gets the macOS install screen. A bit more background: I have always connected my monitor via USB-C, but recently I wanted to use that port on the Mac, so I tried connecting my monitor via HDMI.

No USB Type-C signal MacBook Pro M1 with Monitor Dell U2722DE Yesterday I come back home and turn on my Mac and my monitor was not 'connecting' with "No USB Type-C signal" message. Like the Mac was turned off. So weird because it's always on and charging with USB-C. Open the lid and login to the Mac and notice an update, "Oh! it's something at the Mac"… restarted and after OS update same error "… No signal". Turn the Mac and monitor off multiple times and nothing, changed the USB cord, connected HDMI (with adapter). I was not able to understand or get it fix… After browsing a while at reedit found the solution. Unplug and plug in the monitor after 5 minutes. Unbelievable. I can't believe it was that, I hope this help others. Cheers! -JR
