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.

  • Where can I find a logic board for iMac G5 17" (EMC No. 1989) Apple Part

    HI  Where can I find a logic board for iMac G5 17" (EMC No. 1989) Apple Part #: 661-3290, 661-3351?

    Thanks--makes life easier!
    I found DV Warehouse has a number of G5 logic boards but none had the exact model number:
    http://www.dvwarehouse.com/iMac-G5-Logic-Board-c-4771.html&pltid=05fedd9f246e2a1 dbc9f35cd6712e781
    They have a toll-free number. You could ask if another board # would be compatible.
    Another option is to contact recylers or schools shucking off older gear. Using the enigma of " A used computer is worth more parted out," you might be able to pick up another G5 cheaper than its LB. Unless the LB had the dreaded "leaky capacitor" failure, most computers don't get discarded for a bad LB.

    I'd like to sell my Airport Base Station, but I believe I need a CD with the software on it for the new owner. Anyone know where I can find one?
    Thanks!

    I doubt it is available.. and since a new Mac doesn't even have an optical drive.. there is no need whatsoever today for the cd.. it is all available in the OS or download. In fact the stuff on the cd will now be totally out of date.

    You can search Google, eBay, Amazon, and Craigslist to find an old version of iWork for a PPC Mac. Probably needs to be iWork 6 or earlier.

  • Where can I purchase an upgraded GPU for my PM G5? What card should I get?

    I don't know much about Macs but I need to purchase an upgraded video card for somebody in our graphic design department.
    Can I purchase an upgraded video card directly through Apple or is there another preferred vendor somebody here can recommend?
    I read that the ATI 4870 is likely the best video card available for the Mac at this point in time, can somebody confirm this or tell me what else I should opt for?
    Thanks in advance!
    P.S. I don't see anywhere on the Apple website where I can actually purchase a GPU...can somebody please provide a link?
    P.P.S. He has the Mac Pro 1,1 model:

    Hello again, The hatter.
    Although OP does specifically mention ATI 4870, and although Apple sells ATI 4870, it seems to me that the Apple 4870 product page
      http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB999ZM/A
    does NOT assure OP of compatibility with his Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.66 (Original) from August 2006.
      http://support.apple.com/kb/SP30
    I am not knowledgeable in these specifics. Perhaps you know the answer to these questions.
    (1) Can the ATI 4870 work with OP's August 2006 QuadCore MacPro, or does he need some different upgrade-video card?
    (2) Should OP be looking for a ATI Radeon X1900 XT or NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 (or equivalents) rather than ATI 4870 to upgrade his August 2006 QuadCore MacPro's video card?

  • How can I video conference using a MacPro and a Apple Cinema Display ?

    Logitech is releasing a camera just for macs. That should do the trick.

  • Where can I purchase a headphone jack for a Zen Micro?

    I need to know where I can purchase a headphone jack for a Zen Micro. The insides of mine fell out along with the usual problem of the solder points breaking loose. Zen wants $90 to repair it... I think not! Zen says they can't sell any parts...what a surprise!!!

    To be fair, I finally got a response that makes sense. probably not worth the $$ they would charge but at least it was clear and to the point.
    "I understand that you are experiencing problems with the headphone jack of your MP3 player. Unfortunately we are unable to sell the board. In order to get the player repaired it would have to be sent in for an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization).
    Since you are beyond the time period for email support you would have tocontact us by phone at 405-742-6622. Also since your warranty has expired you will be prompted to pay for a Creative Tutor Session for $2.99. This fee is to speak with a phone representati've. The advisor will be able to set up the RMA so that your player can be sent in for repairs."
    So there is a way to get it repaired. but not to order the part. It should have not taken 0 (total) emails to get a clear explaination but, at least I got one, don't like it, but got one...

    you can try and call apple sales 1.800.my.apple.  but that is a long shot.  You will most likely need to purchase the retail disk on the secondary market and the 10.5 disk is very expensive, and I don't believe it will contain the applications.

  • HT3215 Where can I purchase a new battery for my iPod Classic, 160GB?

    I've got an iPod Classic, 160GB and it won't hold a charge nor charge more than about 10%.  We live in Costa Rica and the authorized Apple dealer there (called iCon) doesn't have the batteries. They tell me that if I can buy one and bring it to them, they will install it for me. But where can I get one?
    Thanks.

    Yes. A few $/£ should get you a compatible battery and the tools to do the job. It is a little fiddly, but I've done several. Video tutorials are online.

  • Ideas for locating a Apple cinema display next to an iMac

    I have recently purchased 20-inch Cinema display to the left of my 20-inch iMac. Since there is about a 3-inch difference in display height, the Cinema display is currently sitting atop enough paper so that they are parallel to each other. My question is: Does anyone know of hardware available or a better idea so that the displays are equal in height.
    Thanks,

    Wrong forum for this post, but monitor stands can be found at computer stores, Staples, Office Depot or Fry's.
