I own it from September and fortunately no problems. I just reinstalled windows 11 pro from zero, replaced the original 512 GB SSD with a 2 TB one from Crucial (with a heat sink because it gets very hot), removed the SATA enclosure for more space and replaced the 16 GB RAM bank with one, also 16 GB DDR4 3200 (Corsair Vengeance) that I had at home and it was incompatible with a Ryzen miniPC (sometimes it froze, but with this mini s12 pro the compatibility seems to be excellent).. It's been 6 months and so far it's going great..🤞🤞

Glad your replacement is working fine... My EQ12 has really impressed me so far, and I'm thinking about picking up one of these today now that they are down to $139 for this model (and $119 for 8GB RAM/256GB SSD).

I just go an S12 Pro and it lasted all of about 10 hours of runtime. Just long enough to get things set up. Frustrating to say the least. What the one I had would do is turn on for 1-2 seconds and then shut off over and over. Waiting for a replacement now. Would be one heck of a cheap and decent mini if would last.

I have the Mini S which looks identical on the inside. It worked for 10 months, not the blue light is always on. did all the same stuff (less the thermal imaging) and doesn't work. Hoping the company makes good on their warranty. I'm not too confident though, their support has been really bad, taking days to weeks to reply to inquiries in the past.

I'm recomending it to a friend because of the price and performance but now I'm wondering if it is a good product. I read some reviews on Amazon and some pleople are having the same issue.

Thanks for sharing! I have a chance of buying it for $145(16G/500G), but read some alarming comments on a forum, and this just confirms my suspicions. Even though there are people saying they have beelink products that are working fine, I wouldn't put my trust in this thing, I'd rather spend more money for something rock-solid.

Our beelink has been on 2/7 for 2years, only time it's been off is when the power has gone off. Seems some have flunk the month test. Usually if it lasts a week, it'll last a month, if lasts a month, usually good til the owner wants to update.

never thought this was so common in beelink. I bought 2 mini s12 last 6 months and my one mini pc after 5 days died, luckily though replacement was easy in the store i purchased

Change memory ram is the first thing to test. As a computer tech. Memory is always get hot 🔥 and fail

The only other thing I would've tried first was swapping out the HDMI/Displayport cable and/or different monitor/monitor port. I've had bad/loose cables and bad monitor ports result in a "no signal" erro even though the computer was booting. Not saying it's your issue, but just soemthing to eliminate early on duing diagnostics.

A friend bought a SER5 (5600H I think) which started dying after 4 days (loss of color palette during POST, but Windows was fine). She returned it and bought a SER6 Pro which started to falter today (the second day of use). The USB ports were going out. She's had it with Beelink after investing in 2 computers, 64 gig of RAM for the SER5 and 3TB of NVMEs (none of which she can use).

My version of this same machine worked fairly well out of the box and the 1235U seemed good and fast, but the whole package seemed to run a bit hot according to thermal monitors I installed and had a noisy fan than revved stressfully almost constantly; RAM use was oddly high on a machine with 32gb RAM. This trivia may or may not have something to do with the SEi12's real behavioral problems, which began with odd acts coming out of sleep. At about month 9 with this machine, if it returned from sleep, the wifi would be off and I would have to restart the network adapter to get it back. Stranger behaviors developed after this: if the machine restarted itself over-night for an update, it might crash to a black screen at some random point during the next day-and rebooting was not simple. Rebooting would involve a 15 minute off-interval (I never understood why, but it was an empirical fact) before it would reboot. Hibernating the machine would result in the same behaviors. Eventually, the machine would not return from hibernate or sleep at all [and not just with USB stimuli, but with the power button]. Yes, scary. My options were to leave the machine on all the time OR fully shut-down the machine. Anything else made the machine prone to black-crash at some random point afterwards. The reason I simply replaced this machine is that its crash-to-black [with unresponsive keyboard, no simple reboot, and a required 15 minute off period] behavior, though rare and hard to link to a specific cause other than "it doesn't like partial shut-downs," became more frequent. Though similar, Beelink-unique problems are often discussed in Beelink forums, [with no fixes that I saw and comments like "I worked in PC repair for 20 years, and this stumps me"], Beelink help confined its advice to suggestions that one could get from a Windows chat-bot, and little more-- like "have you tried updating your graphics drivers?" Uh, yeh. This machine began to crash to black during Zoom or in image editing work--fairly low-demand stuff by current standards. I can't have a machine that leaves me high, dry, and reaching for a back-up laptop during a Zoom classroom that I am leading. Beelink sent me into the waiting arms of Lenovo for a new desktop. Given the percentage of these that fail (see other reviews and forums), I'd say at the least that this machine wasn't built to withstand its own heat stresses, and that the run had serious quality-control issues. Sorry to say it, but avoid these guys.

My beelink PC has been amazing! Sad to see some of them have problems.

I have the same model. It only boots up if you have any usb thumb drive in it. It could be just a data drive. I am using Windows 11 Pro. Beelink said it was the m.2 SSD. They sent me a new one and the same issue.

Hmm, you said that the replacement has been working well, did you check the new one if it had the same brand RAM/SSD or was it actually namebrand this time. Wondering if that might be a potential point of failure.

I have the Beelink UH9 model & haven't had any issues for about 2-3 yrs. Might be your display port HDMI 🤔

How is the replacement unit functioning now, one of your comments said you got a new one like 2 weeks ago, any problems? I was considering getting one of these because it was cheaper than most alternatives for such a low wattage yet decently powerful computer. I saw some refurbished tiny computers that were maybe slightly more money and wattage but also more powerful and able to have double the RAM. The only drawback would be being slightly bigger with an older cpu with less modern hardware codec support, and not officially compatible with win11, but it'd still have like h264 and such, just not the latest and greatest, and frankly I don't like what I've heard about win11, which is mostly compaints about the BS hardware requirements to be officially supported and being upset about what the did to the taskbar. I haven't heard /anything/ good being mentioned that sounds like ti's worth it except for the fact they're talking about dropping 10 support in a few years, they're going to be leaving a lot of people hanging when they do.

I have two of them. Both with AMD 5600H cpu. One of them is running 24/7 and hasnt given an issue ever (over 10 months). Note: I replaced memory and SSD after receiving it.

Bought S12 mini N95 over 3 months ago no problems. Upgraded to Crucial 16 GB 3200 RAM just because (came with 8GB/256GB $140 +tax amazon) Thinking sad M.2 NVME upgrade ...

Thanks, I cancelled my order before thy ship it, unfortunately a few people talking about this issue, most of them are receiving the PC for free In return for advertising

Well, I did jinx mine, totally dead, no power light nothing. PS reads 12.2 volts. Switched RAM and SSD, dead. Three weeks in, went to power it on one day and nothing. Amazon did refund me so I kind of lucked out on that. Im wondering since it is totally dead if there is a small fuse somewhere inside (wishful thinking)

You should do a follow up video because you replace this. This happens sometimes I bought a Dell laptop three years ago that lasted three days. I didn’t do a video about it because it was replaced by the manufacturer.

Both my Beelink MINI S N5095 and my Beelink U59 Pro have the same exact problems like yours. Sadly they died after 6 months of using so no replacement for me.

Doesn't sound like they do a burn in after manufacture. It is probably a great idea to do a stress test and leave it on for a month when you get one of those. Infant mortality is common with electronic components. Even more so when they are exposed to thermal stress. (I sold computer components for 20+ years and also worked for several computer builders back in the 90s.)

In my case my Beelink M2 SSD became defective after about a year of use. I replaced the SSD just now and it works perfect again. The way I troubleshooted this was to boot windows using a WIN-PE USB thumb drive without the SSD connected. It wasn't randomly shutting off anymore - hence the SSD!

My reset on my mini pc doesn’t work unless the power jack is in.......Its not getting to the bios

Im trying to setup one of these up for my mom but have run into an issue already too. The monitor is saying its not detecting anything and i know its plugged it. 😢 I will try another monitor and if still nothing ill send hers back too. The shipping took forever already and usually amazon is really fast

My mini pc was sent to me for reveiw. I reviewed it then took it to bits because I needed an SSD for my wii. So it was useful in as much as I got a free SSD LOL. Yours looks a bit more upmarket than mine was, yours seems to actually have a memory stick.

I have a Beelink Mini S, with faulty USB ports. Drives connected to the ports malfunction, rendering the Beelink pretty useless! ... Amazon gave me a full refund. I bought a MinisForum GK-41, and unlike the Beelink, it works great! ... But for how long?

SO are you going to do another review of the warranty replacement after you have run it for a while?

So, you have a PC that's drawing power and spinning up the cooling fan, but not outputting anything to your monitor. The first thing I would check is whether it was on the monitor side or the PC side. I have a similar if not the same model of Huion tablet. It's finicky. I'd hook that thing up to a known good monitor with a known good cable and see if it outputs anything, and check the second HDMI port if the first doesn't work. At this point, you'll know if it's the actually the PC that has a problem. After that, not having a spare stick of RAM on hand, there's very little left to do other than what you did, reset the CMOS and try removing and replacing the CMOS battery.

I would bet the ram stick went kaput and gave up the ghost. Even having a slower speed single stick of same type ram to use for troubleshooting can be useful sometimes.

Does this runs well on clip studio paint? I recently bought this and worried it might brick after long hours of working

What monitor are you using. How is the monitor powered?

Same here, my Beelink died after 7 months of use. Replaced the ram module but nothing happens, it doesn´t boot.

My EQ12 started crashing in 6 hours and started dying progressively after that. Trying to fix it too, but I'll probably have to RMA it as well

My 30 watt OC Mini S still puffing along as a replacement media server. That's P1 set to 30 watts for 1 year plus, no issue. I cloned cheap pcie SSD to make any window 11 rollbacks easy, but never used, so far, still running on clone. As a media server, the Intel has far better audio support with my legacy HDMI Denon where ANY of my AMD audio codecs fail.

Ok guys just spent a day troubleshooting and repairing a Mini S i had on a tactile screen for a year. The unit was shutting the video output/shutting down after some idle time and was crashing on a light cpu/gpu load. After disassembly I found the thermal paste was crusty as hell (a symptom of it overheating) so i replaced it with some noctua NT-H1. The idle temperature went from 60 celsius to 39 but the Mini S still crashed on benchmark tests and after some time. The definite fix was to reaplly a good thermal paste and install a better fan instead of the CPU 1 pwm fan wich is very badly designed. The Mini S will turn on without the pwm fan connected so I fancied an external usb relay to a 12v fan that keeps the unit at 33 celsius even on workloads. TLDR. Bad thermal design fix is to replace thermal compound and cpu fan.

mine was switching on and off intermittent, now completely dead. great, not going to buy again for sure. have to find a way now to get my contents off the M2 drive

Probably cleaning RAM stick Pins with soft cloth to see if that worked

Hmm... You played with the bios cpu power and fried that cpu?

Here one like this died, same results. Waiting for RAM for test this. Bet it was the RAM module! I clean it, bios comes, but after, same problem: no video. Today I receive another unit. I will swap RAMs to see if it is indeed the RAM module.

Oh wow I did not know these failed this many! I was indeed in the market to get one, I think I wont

I have another beelink model but simillar pcb layout. Don't even get a light or fan. Nothing. Dead. Reset cmos, replaced power supply, disconnected cmos battery. Nothing. It's a good business, because you won't get a replacement from beelink. If you're within Amazon's return policy, you get Amazon. More than that but within a year (beelink's warranty), you will never see a replacement from China.

have you tried pressing the reset button while the computer is plugged in and turned on?

I had the same problem today. No image after changing boot order in BIOS. I've also tried a few things without success. Now the box is working again. I have about 30 seconds! pressed the "Clear CMOS" button. I hope this helps some people here.

thanks for sharing this

I have had this kind of pc a lot. The cmos battery died 100%, if that happens the pc doesn't boot anymore. You need to renew the Cmos battery. Plus if you shut down the PC by disconnecting the powersupply, the board is draining the cmos battery empty (it draines as long as you don't boot again). i don't know why but thats my expierence with these mini pcs. You need to shut down in windows or by pressing the button. Otherwise the battery is dead within a week or so. I wasted 4 cmos battery's wihtin 2 months or so until i figured out the real issue.

After reading the comments here, I'm glad I didn't commit to buying after having it in the cart for a week

Mine died right out of the box. Wish I had done my proper research prior to purchasing.

Curious - was this an Intel or AMD model?

It there a set of pads on the PCB that could be a serial port? You may see POST or other diagnostics messages on that port.

My Mini S SSD lasted about 1 year and then died. Another sad story....

Is there any other way to get video out of it besides the HDMI port? Could you try to hook up to it over ethernet? It's possible the display output is dead but the PC is booting

Ooh thank you, just had to reset the cmos

i have issues with wifi cards on beelinks only way i got mine to work was usb wifi

Try swapping the RAM

Not mine. I have 3. All 3 are good. You got a lemon.

Dont wanna jinx mine... I bought a Beelink N95 a week ago, have not shut it off yet and runs like a champ. Longevity, well, I'll post here in a few weeks.

Doesn't clearing the CMOS with that button require the system to have power?

I'm joining the Beelink Mini S 12 pro dead club! yay.. 6 months of fine operation now completely dead no power. PS 12v ok. Looks like a waste of time to trouble shoot further. Keep away! Cheers.

mine also scrap press the power button nothing hold in the reset button try again it flashes once and its dead

For a mini computer that lasts only four days, it's a disappointment. I'd rather save up and get the Beelink SER5 5500U instead. Or maybe better.

I got a Mini-S-12-Pro with the N100 cpu two months ago.......love it. You musta pissed off the God Of Computation or some shit.

Any update on the RMA?

I bought a SER6 MAX and died on the first day 😢

any update on the replacement?

so far is great already 8 month.

have same king gk55 uhd 600 driver problem.

I lost my password to my beelink g55. What should I do ?

Did you get your money back?

get the ryzen version.. intel machines hav been dying recently, from pc to laptop to mini.. been mining on my beelink 5800h for almost a month now, still works fine as day1..

Maybe touching the components (chips) with your fingers (while not being grounded I guess) wasn't a great idea.

I received a Mini S (11th edition) from Amazon yesterday. IT HAD ALREADY BEEN USED with the OS passworded... and in FRENCH... by someone named Marc. NO MANUAL came with it. Resetting the CMOS through the little hole didn't help... I got into the BIOS once... and then never again. The machine wouldn't even turn on. Why do companies go through all the effort to make JUNK when EXCELLENCE is within reach? It's on it's way back to Amazon. I sure hope someone bothers to try it before they ship it out to the next sucker who "buys" it.

Meiner läuft schon zwei Wochen hardcore...

Have you tried replacing RAM module?

RAM problem?

В инструкции написано 19v 6.32A, а продавец положил 19v 3.42A. Проверяйте блок питания.

that looked like RAM isue

Nooo I just bought this 😢

Its looking like if a person buys any Beelink, be prepared to backup your files every 10 minutes. How sad.

Push the Reset while powered on - NOT with no power it will do nothing!!

My beeline died after 9 months - manufacturer told me to pound sand…never again

Borrow a known working RAM stick!

Step 1, reseat the memory. You never did that (on camera). My SER5 is running fine.

mine also died almost instantly, beelink is garbage...

I have 2 beelinks the u59 one died after about a month and I watched a video from this guy kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jJOSqKh1qK3ek6s.html it fixed my problem and nether of them have had any problems since . I have had them for around 18 months now hope this helps for the future

chinese quality

Take out the ram sticks out and back in.

4 days …who cares whiner send an email For replacement to amazon 😂😂😂… amazing and bye
