Damaged M2 Mac Mini – Repair Upgrade

In this video I perform a minor board repair, as well as a soldered storage upgrade on @ActionRetro's Apple Mac Mini M2. The board only had two very minor issues, although one component was missing. After finding the missing component on another board and fixing other minor soldering issues, the board started working perfectly again. The board is then completed with an upgrade from a single 256GB NAND storage configuration to a dual 2TB NAND configuration.
