My Intel NUC server just died (whenever it’s plugged in, it makes a buzzing noise, and the external power LED is off (the internal one is on tho)), so I need a new server box. Any recommendations?
I can salvage the RAM (16 GB DDR4) and hard drive (1TB HDD) off of this one, I believe.
ask a repair shop. Since the label is the same on the other things around it, they could use a parts tester to determine what it is and then order that part. If you’re in luck, that’s the whole problem.
If it’s some other component that failed they could still probably determine and fix it
To be honest, I don’t think it’s worth the bother. This is just an i3-5 something, and I got all the working parts off of it. But it’s good a good idea, thanks!
