I have an old Mac-mini and cannot turn it on. All of the cords I have do not fit. It doesn’t use the white cord with the double barrel lens. There is a similar slot to all my devices but none of the cords work. Can anyone help with what cord to buy?

Just in order to avoid any misunderstanding, do you mean only the AC cord, or the power adapter and AC cord (as shown by D.I. Johnson)? See also pictures on pp 7-8 in https://cdsassets.apple.com/live/6GJYWVAV/user/ma605_macmini_originaluserguide.pdf .
The original Mac mini had an AC power adapter that fed power to the computer via an unusual 5-pin DC port connector. You would be looking for that.

Getting a Power Adapter:
Find this one on Amazon, or eBay. OR put a post on craigslist. Not so certain you'll find one elsewhere.
What type of Power Cord does the original Mac mini use?
