Hopefully the title is not too vague. Here is context.
Recently, I accidently broke off the socket that connects the power button to the logic board of a late 2009 Mac Mini 3,1. A screwdriver can short the contacts on the board, allowing startup but this is a temporary fix and fear of irreversble damage if I continue.
I so far have two options. Either have the wires soldered onto the contacts, or a get a new board (despite the current functioning perfectly)
Late 09 logic boards don't seem easy to come by, but I can obtain an early 2009 logic board. Doing the EFI update will allow it to expand RAM, but my question is:
Can a 2.53Ghz Core 2 duo P8700 work with an Early 2009 logic board (after firmware update) or is it just incompatible?
