Thank you! I’m not gonna try and fix the box itself, but somebody suggested it might be the power supply.
Comment on Server box just died, recommendations for a new one?

As others just said, take the challenge of repairing or correctly I’d what’s broken. It should be fun, and part of the diy ethos.
If, you are still going for a new piece for the upgrades…
Depends very much on your scope. Heck, there’s even aesthetics. Do you prefer AMD or Intel? Don’t you feel like having an ARM and take the challenge of compatible images? Would you need to check the transcoding compatibility for Jellyfin? Are you going fangless? Is one 2.5gpbs eth port enough? Etc.
That said, check the reviews from www.servethehome.com they have articles with benchmarks and videos for all the latest nucs and other hardware’s form factor servers.
Be aware that Intel discontinued the NUCs iirc… but Asus or some vendor might have picked up to grab that market segment.
Good luck!

Well, I fully disassembled it, and I’ve found some components that are heating up a lot and probably making the buzzing noise.
However I have no idea what they are, if they’re the problem or some connected component. The label doesn’t return anything, so I think this 'uns a goner :(

ask a repair shop. Since the label is the same on the other things around it, they could use a parts tester to determine what it is and then order that part. If you’re in luck, that’s the whole problem. If it’s some other component that failed they could still probably determine and fix it

To be honest, I don’t think it’s worth the bother. This is just an i3-5 something, and I got all the working parts off of it. But it’s good a good idea, thanks!

I would definitely go fangless. I have been bitten enough times. A bite might also transfer viruses. Nowadays I defang all my computers.

Dude, what the fuck. Defanging is so god damn inhumane. If you want a computer without fangs, you don’t want a computer. You want an SBC.

Actually, only after posting it came to my mind that anyway all intel nukes are fangless. That’s their appeal. So that their bytes leave no marks. Long live the vempire.
