Mac Mini won't boot, unable to restore it.

I got a M2 Mac Mini (2023)


Suddenly it won't boot - doesn't even get any image on the screen. I've tried to restore the computer myself - through "Apple Configurator" - I have connected the two machines with a Thunderbolt cable, see attached pictures.

Also tried doing it through finder:


Could it be that the SSD is defective? Any tips on how to troubleshoot further? I'm out of ideas.


Thank you
