Question Mac Mini had a distorted display ?

[3xtraAn3j0]

An object of greater weight fell on top of my Mac Mini 2018.
At that moment, the screen stuck at a distorted state, and the sound that was currently being played by a video on Youtube kept repeating (a tiny fragment of the sound).
I was waiting, speculating whether a kernel panic would occur but it did not.
I force restarted the machine with the power button and things seem to be working (for now.)

I was wondering, what might have happened to the machine?
Did the shock to the machine cause a GPU damage maybe?
Maybe the shock has caused the memory modules to dislocate?

There's a lot of things that could have happened.

While it could have been the RAM, Macs and macOS are notoriously sensitive to instead bus movements, as in, internal cables moving a bit, causing all kinds of issues while it is running.

Your specific model has everything pretty tight except a couple of internal bus connections, even the RAM is pretty tight so it's nice.

Hopefully it continues to be alright.
