The logic board of the Mac mini (2023), model A2686, 2023, M2 (EMC 8003). Known faults are being collected.
No guided tree is live for this board yet. The profile, the viewer and manual entry are there on the free plan, and the first sessions on it build the tree.
Checked on 2026-10-29 against 2 sources: added. Only one independent source for the board number: two Badcaps threads (July and August 2026, apparently the same poster asking for a schematic and boardview), one titled "Mac mini A2686 820-02579-A schematic and boardview required" (the number is in the thread title and URL slug), the other naming the board as 820-02579-A for the A2686. Searches of eBay, Beetstech, Techable, iFixit and AliSaler found no second source. iFixit, Apple and everymac confirm A2686 = Mac mini (2023) M2, EMC 8003, Mac14,3 but print no 820- number. Treat as single-source until a seller listing or board photo confirms it. Consistency review: the row arrived without a 'line' field; added as empty to match the other Mac mini rows (Mac mini is its own family with no line). Revision A is a placeholder until Studio records the real revisions.
Open the board in NextProbe, answer the symptom questions and follow the lit point. The free plan includes three guided sessions a month. Your own boardview and schematic stay on your machine.
