Mac mini turns on, but does nothing

I have a 2023 Mini with M2 Pro that will turn on, then nothing beyond that. I first noticed it yesterday (8/16) when I tried to turn it on to pay some bills. I first thought it might be the HDMI cord to the monitor, but after trying a different cord - nothing. I've tried to restart and press Command-R, still nothing.

All I can see it doing is powering on (white light in back + Mac startup sound), then the white light goes off and on, then it changes to a yellow/orange light and starts blinking like it is sending me some message in morse code. 4 fast blinks, 3 slow blinks, 2 fast blinks over and over. No idea what that is. Power supply is fine, I can plug other things in the same place and they work OK.

I have an appointment to get it checked out this coming weekend, but wondered if anyone has any ideas what's going on.

*Edited to add that the reason I am waiting nearly a week to get an appointment is that most of the area around the local Apple Store/Genius Bar is submerged (Google Indianapolis flooding) and I am not sure how hard it is to get there.

The CDS found me

So as I was walking to my car after getting my hair cut, I noticed several people standing around some bushes asking, “did you hear that?” So I stopped and listened. I heard tiny cries coming from the bushes so I investigated.

I saw some white fuzzy patches in one area, couldn’t reach it, so I walked to the other side and pushed the plants back to get a better look. There he was… crying. I reached in and pulled him out.

Took him to the nearest vet to scan for a chip. No chip. The vet gave me some kitten food and suggested places to call about finding him a home.

I can’t afford another cat, but can foster him until space opens up in a rescue so he’s safe for now.

Need to cancel a watch line

I was told to post this here first instead of asking for assistance via Reddit mail.

I have two watches linked to my Xfinity Mobile account and would like to remove the Apple Watch 8 from my bill. It's only used as a backup watch now and I don't need cellular on it anymore. What's the best way to do this?

My online time can be limited, so replies may be slow.

Early phone payoff?

I purchased a new phone through Xfinity mobile on a payment plan last year. I’d like to pay it off early and lower my monthly bill and I’ve done this through a different provider in the past.

Is there a way to do it on Xfinity mobile?
