Replied In Catalina killed my Mac mini?
Good thinking there with the DFU mode - but even if the 10.15 firmware was in configurator - I wouldn't have been able to do the same thing - no other thunderbolt 3 mac here. Driving 2 hours to the Genius Bar - that *****, sorry. It was a 40 min drive for me (when traffic is good), and I thought that was a pain in the rear.

Sorry about that. My mini was not even a week old. They wouldn't even exchange it, even though they were totally stumped why it wouldn't turn on, and I told them I had installed the Catalina beta.

Got my mini back two days ago. They apparently replaced the PSU to no avail, then replaced the logic board. This work was done all at the local Apple Store. Hopefully this info is getting back to the right people at Apple HQ so that they can do something about it. I'm definitely not installing Catalina for a while, lol.

Yeah, that's what I think will happen to my mini too. Went to the Apple Store yesterday and they were very skeptical of what happened. They're going to replace the power supply first.

Sorry to hear that, but also good to know that I'm not the only one with this issue. Will update when I learn more.

I could, but the mini won't even turn on. I've also tried resetting the SMC to no avail.(Per these instructions https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295 )
