Can't find where to plug in IR sensor cable
Replaced HD in MacMini late 2014 with SSD. Can’t find a place to plug in the IR Sensor cable. Looks like it should go under the board, but there’s nothing there. Some photos show a open box form, but not on this mother board. For now going to leave it unhooked and see if it runs?

I have torn them mini down again. I appears to me that the older boards had an IR connector on the MB. This board does not. It appears to me to be the connector that powers the power on light which no longer works. This light is part of the hd mount and points at the power on light. I've also looked at the power supply for a jack, but nothing found. The computer works fine so I will put it back together, again, and ignore the connector! I would add pictures, but can't find a way to post them?

@ldonj - I would hold off using your system as you'll end up cooking it! You snapped off the fans connection.

Checked the fan operation before I put the cover on. Good thought.

Did you get the fan connector re-connected?

I lost my connector but it looks like you can buy a new one on the cheap. 78171-0005 is the part number. DigiKey sells em for about $0.50 each + ~$5 shipping. Soldering it back to the board will be a chore. I will probably try a heat gun directly over it with aluminum foil protecting the surrounding area of the board. All this so I can get that fancy LED on the front of my Mac mini ;)

MAKE SURE you get the connector with five pins, not four. This part number is apparently used for both variants.
