I cannot get fan to run again after removing and reinstalling it in order to swap out hard drive for SSD. Macs Fan Control app shows 0 rpm current indicating that fan isn’t running. Fan connector was a bugger to get reconnected; connector kept popping back out. I opened up Mini again to confirm that it hadn’t popped out and it’s still plugged in. Fan was working fine before removing and reinstalling. What can I do to get it working again? Update (06/20/2019)

https://dstall.com/PIX/TGProAutoBoostRul… Update (06/20/2019) How do I get fan to run using TGPro? I’ve opened bunch of Safari tabs to get temp to shoot up, but fan never runs. Have also gotten push notices to quit apps or increase fan speeds but I don’t know how to do that. Have set Auto Boost Rule to run Always at 20% but fan never runs - always 0 rpm. See -

It looks like the connectors are OK, so unless one of the wires is damaged I don’t think that’s your issue. Butting things back together. Let’s run the onboard diagnostics, process and hold the D key when you restart the system. Did you get an error? If you’ve updated to the newer macOS you might find diagnostics won’t work. If thats the case the only answer I have is to install TG Pro. You’ll need to pay for the full version to get the diagnostic functions and you’ll need to remove Macs Fan Control as that will compete with TG Pro which you don’t want. Update (06/20/2019) At this point I think you have no option than to get a replacement fan unit Intel Mac mini (A1347 Mid 2011-Late 2014) Fan Update (06/21/2019) Fan is available in the US store
Switch to the US Store and order it from there.
