Have a look at > Mac computer status indicator light behavior - Apple Support

and > How to revive or restore Mac firmware - Apple Support


If you do not have another qualifying Mac and USB-C cable to do a revive or restore..?

Then you need to take the Mac mini to your local Apple Store or AASP for service.

To find service, go to > Find Locations and click on "Explore Service Locations"
