Self repair apple cinema display 65W power adaptor?

After a power outage, I have discovered that the 65W power adaptor (A1096 661-3760) driving a 20" apple cinema display is no longer working.  A different brick from another display works fine.  I was wondering whether I might be able to service this power adaptor myself?  Are there online guides for dissembling the adaptor and checking if maybe a fuse has blown?
Thanks for any advice...
Paul

My guess is not even apple bothers to repair something like a power adapter.  A google search shows it can be replaced (albeit not cheaply).  It's probably dangerous to fiddle with too since you have line voltages to deal with.
You could call a place like Mac-Pro to see what their opinion of repairing it is.  They sell that adapter but also repair mac stuff.

  • Apple cinema display 23" power problem.

    Hey everyone I have a apple 23" cinema display 2006 or 1007 I'm not sure, that doesn't want to power up.
    Heres the deal.. Apple says that in order to use the 23" cinema display you have to have a 90W or 150W power brick, I have the 90W power brick. I plug in the all the wires (power, usb, DVI, firewire) and then the monitor blinks: short, long, short, which according to apple means that the display isn't getting enough power. I did confirm that the power brick works I tried it on my other 20" cinema display and it works prefect.
    Anyone know whats going on?
    Thanks!

  • I need a power adaptor for my 1st gen Apple Cinema Display

    I just moved, and I lost the power cable to my first generation Apple Cinema Display (20" I think). It looked like the old powerbook cable, kind of a blue wheel thing-a-ma-bob. Any ideas? It seems as if Apple only sells the accessories for products they are now selling this week.

    This is the usual solution for an ADC display that does not have an AC power cord to be used with a Mac that has only a DVI output. This device adds up to 4 Amps of power at about 25 Volts to power the display:

    There are also some cruder versions that use the external Power supply brick "borrowed" from a G4 Cube.

  • Apple Cinema Display 22" doesn't power on

    All - I have an old 22" Apple Cinema Display, model# M8149 that won't power on at all - no picture, no blinky lights on the front, just totally dead. I've tried it with a known function ADC capable video card as well as a known working DVIator external power supply - notta.
    Does anyone have any idea which part may be defective? I see lots of posts about replacing the inverter board, but in all cases, the posts indicate the monitor powers on, just no or blank picture. Mine doesn't show any signs of life whatsoever.
    any help is appreciated.
    thx,

    Are you sure that the connector on your laptop is a "AVG" ? Never heard of that one before. Perhaps it is a VGA???? If it is a VGA and your laptop graphics card is 16 MB video or less, it probably will not support the resolution of the 23 inch. As I can recall, it needs minimum of 32MB video ram to run it. Most older laptops will max out at resolutions of 1200X800. Find out what specs are on the card.

  • Disable power and brightness buttons on Apple Cinema Displays in a lab?

    We have a combination of new-model (DVI/silver) 20" Apple Cinema Displays as well as old-model (ADC/plastic) 20" Apple Cinema Displays in our computer labs. All of our computers are running Mac OS X 10.4.10.
    I would like to disable the power and brightness buttons on these displays. I know I can do this manually by logging into each computer as an administrator, selecting System Preferences > Displays > Options, and checking the appropriate boxes, but obviously I'd like a leaner, meaner solution.
    By the way, the option did not propogate via imaging, so it makes me think this is not a preference that's written to a .plist file somewhere. (I looked and looked and couldn't find a key in any preference file where these settings are stored...)
    Does anyone know of a Unix terminal command or an Applescript command that I could send to all of my lab computers via Apple Remote Desktop to accomplish this?

    We don't own these displays anymore. I ended up setting each workstation individually.

  • Power button on Apple Cinema Display 23"

    I just got myself a used Apple Cinema Display and I have a quick question regarding the behavior of the power button. In the display options I selected "display power button : puts the computer to sleep or wakes it" but when I press the power button I get a popup saying "are you sure you want to shut down your computer".
    The display is connected to a MacBook, running Snow Leopard. Is this a known issue I'm missing a setting somewhere?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Don't worry, it's normal. Since Panther, It give you more choice. Personally, I prefer that.

  • Apple Cinema Display Shuts Down under MBP Battery Power

    Just had the logic board replaced on my early-2008 MBP. Got home, connected to my Apple Cinema display, everything's fine. However, when I disconnect the laptop power source, the cinema display goes dark. I can click the mouse, my password prompt comes up, I enter the password and the display comes back for a few seconds, then goes dark again. If I wait more than a few seconds the laptop goes into sleep mode. Only when I reconnect the power does it come back to life. Not sure what the issue is, I checked all the battery and power settings, I don't have anything set to automatically go into sleep mode. Also went to the display panel, clicked "Detect". Still having the problem. Someone once before suggested checking the option to "Mirror" the displays, but I don't even see that option in the display panel any longer.
    Any suggestions?

    FWIW this has never worked with an external display while on battery power alone either in Clamshell mode or Mirroring/Extended Desktop - I thought the MagSafe was a requirement did it works without it before the replacement ??

  • Where can I purchase a Logic Board for a 24" Apple Cinema Display?

    My 24" Cinema Display started to flicker and black out shortly after I purchased my most recent MacBook Pro.  Apple felt that the issue was the MacBook Pro so they replaced it.  The problem continued so they suggested I take the Cinema Display to the Genius Bar.  The display was out of warranty and the Apple Genius felt the issue was a bad display even after I told him I smelt silicon burning just before it went out completely.  He said that he could "depot" the unit and have it repaired for ~$600.  Due to the high cost of repair, I chose to purchase a new Thunderbolt Display instead.  Recently, I opened the old Cinema Display and found that the Logic Board is fried.  I have ordered a new board from 2 different Web retailers.  Both accepted the purchase as "in stock" but then stated they could not get the board from Apple.  Where can I purchase the Logic Board for a 24" Apple Cinema Display?
    Many thanks!

    I was very interested to read this document.  I think there is a problem with the Cinema Display and that it is frying the computer.
    My husband bought each of us a macbook pro.  His was hooked up to the cinema display.  After about a year, his MBP started to suffer intermittent failures where it would suddenly shut off and have to be hard rebooted.  After 2 years, the power or logic board on his MBP completely failed. He bought a new MBP and a Thunderbolt display, and I inherited his Cinema Display for use with my original MBP. 
    After one month of use with the cinema display, my MBP started to have the same problems.  It has to be hard rebooted almost every time I disconnect or reconnect with the cinema display.  I went to the Genius bar, and they confirmed that my MBP logic board needs to be replaced; I'm just holding out until spring break to take it back in, as they say it may take a week.  Fortunately, I have AppleCare for my MBP.
    Our cinema display is 3-4 years old, but it looks like, even though it appears to be working, I should probably get rid of it.  I can't keep frying computers! 
    I'm posting this because I'm wondering how many others are experiencing this problem.

  • How to connect a apple cinema display to an imac

    I have a brand new 27 inch iMac. I also own a 30 inch  Apple Cinema Display.  What peripheral adaptor do I need to connect the display to my new iMac?

    Hello,
    Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort-> Dual Link DVi cable...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter
    A notable peculiarity of Thunderbolt is that it uses exactly the same connector as Mini Display Port, and that's not all. The Thunderbolt connector also carries Mini Display Port video signals. That means you can plug a Mini Display Port video cable/adapter in to a Thunderbolt connector and your monitor will work.

  • How to connect old Apple Cinema Display to new Mac Mini?

    Hello,
    I'm considering replacing an old Mac Mini with the new model, but I intend to keep on using my old Apple Cinema Display 20" with it. But i'm having some trouble finding the right conversor (it seems there isn't any from Apple...)
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    If by "old" apple cinema the OP is referring to the aluminum displays of the later mac models, then yes, that's a no-brainer, the problem is that if the OP is referring to the "real" old apple cinema displays, which have a DVI-type connection with power included on the same cable, like the displays the former Mac G4 or G5 had, then he needs a ADP to DVI port, which in most cases it cost more than the actual monitor itself.. I guess the OP needs to specify what does it mean by old apple displays or throw in a link to an image..

  • Apple Cinema Display with DVI to VGA graphic adapter... HELP

    A friend of mine has a PC (Windows XP based) and is using the Apple Cinema Display. Since his graphic card has both vga and dvi slot, he can plug the monitor to DVI and got it working, but when he tried to plug it into the VGA slot using DVI to VGA converter, it did not work. Is there a need of special converter or adapter?

    Hi royz86,
    To run a DVI display off a VGA output, you need a rather expensive converter box. These converters vary in performance, reliablility and application possibilities and certainly don't compare with using a native DVI output.
    Your friend was probably trying to use a DVI to VGA adaptor (which won't work "the other way around"). It works by grabbing the analogue signal that is included in a DVI-I output and setting up a VGA output that way. These don't work with DVI-D outputs, by the way.
    Cheers!
