17" Apple Monitor ceased to display, how can I test it
My 17" Apple monitor suddenly ceased to display. I can't see what I'm doing! It has the two USB ports occupied by bluetooth and usb speakers both of which function ok. The power light behaves as normal. Is it possible that the actual display matrix can have gone? Is there any way that I can test or check it to assess what the problem is?
Any help would be great. Ta
Hello, and thanks for your responses. Its a 17" LCD screen.
When its connected the power light on the front is on permanently and does cycle through any sequence.. I'll try and check it again re the dimmed desktop when I reattach it again to test it out.
I guess I was wondering if it is possible to short out any circuits when attaching a USB 2 device to a USB 1 port as on the back of the monitor. I wouldn't have thought so but I'd be interested to know if anyone has any other input. This was the only change to my set up was when I attached my LaCie USB speakers to the usb port on the back of the monitor. They worked fine for a few days and then one day the screen wouldn't function.
Thanks for the link to the forum but it appears that the monitor I have is of the older variety of cinema display which uses the ADC rather than the newer models which may have a separate power supply. If I could check this monitor on another mac then I could maybe do a wee bit more analysis but due to the ADC connection then its not so easy to find another MAC of that vintage which has the ADC monitor connection on it. Also having to pay around £70 for and adaptor ( http://store.apple.com/uk/product/M8661B/B ) to allow me to connect it up to a powerbook to test it seems a bit much when the monitor may be worth nothing if it is completely dead.
I'll continue to try to resolve and understand this as I don't want to just dump the monitor if it is just a relatively minor issue to be resolved. Any thoughts are gratefully read.

If you haven't found an answer yet. I know for a fact that this can be ordered directly from Apple at no extra cost
You can either ask for this when buying a new MBP at a "physical" Apple store, or as in my case in the UK the online Apple store allows such keyboard configuration in addition to 3 other languages like Spanish, German and French -

My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.
If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account. -
Why would my Apple TV suddenly stop recognizing my library. Nothing has changed. How can I test the Apple TV. I have the latest updates.
Could have to do with home sharing. Try turining off and then back on home sharing on your AppleTV.

But why if you're running 10.6 do you need to do this? AW works fine in 10.6 with Rosetta.

Take it to an authorized service center or Apple Store in the country where the phone originated. Apple does not sell iPhones in Pakistan, nor will they ship them to Pakistan.

With the short time I would definitely call Apple and see if you can request the change. Otherwise, you can log into your account in thle online store and view the order. You may be able to chlenge it there, or cancel and reporder.

All 3 iPads will have to share the same 5GB of free iCloud space. Buy more space if necessary.
Suggest you give different name to each iPad to prevent confusion.
