new mac mini with old carnetix mac mini cable

**krazy11011** · 10-20-2009, 05:09 PM

I have just ordered the mac mini cable for a carnetix 2140 power supply. The cable mentions not working with the new mac mini(made after march 09.) It says that most of the cable is the same just a revision with the power button plug.

Does anyone know if I can still use the cable on the new one?? I am considering hardwiring the carnetix adapter cable to the wiring for the button.. Has anyone tried or tested this??

Thanks for any input or experiences!

Hmm, since no one posted here, I guess I'll do it, then.
I tried the cables on both my Intel mac mini, and my colleague's '09 mini.
The MacPac cable does work with both machines. The Power Y-Cable does not work on the '09 mini. So much so, that the original Power Button didn't turn on the mini with the Y-Cable connected...
And I had to tell him that nothing was wrong with his computer.

If you want to connect the MacPac and wait til november for your Y-cable, then that's cool. But right now, all you have is the MacPac cable, and that will work for you.
