The 8GB of soldered on RAM didn't help either (td)
Looks like the going rate on eBay is $350.

The one #@*&% moment was swapping out the monitor cable on the Dell. The Dell product designer who thought it would be sleek to label the back ports with tiny engraved black lettering on a black plastic case should be pelted with potatoes.

I never understood black lettering on a black background as a way to convey information.

Put in a $12 adapter and an nvme ssd and that 2014 mini is a whole ‘nother beast.

I've had three Dells with the same legend visibility problem.
I learned to take an image of the labeled port from the User Manual and store in on every box connected to a Dell monitor.
