I installed a 1TB SSD upgrade (from aliexpress) in my M4 Mini and broke the power button cable while disassembling the machine and it seems I'm not the only one [1]. So be especially careful with this miniature connector when opening the system.

You cannot order a replacement cable separately, but the bottom plate with cable is available from Apple's self service repair store [2] as "Mac mini M4 Antenna Plate 923-11056". I think I paid around 27€ for the part.
