22 inches of sad dead Apple Display

Hello Everyone,
Time and time again I have returned to Apple Discussions, looked over someone's shoulder, and solved some small issue. Tonight I return with the desperation of a man who with a big problem: a dead 22 inch Cinema Display. I am really hoping that my description of the symptoms may inspire one of the resident geniuses to pity poor novice me and guide me to the light of a working Cinema display.
I have a 3 year old 22 inch display that has been the envy of all my friends. Just recently it has been dying. It looks great but it just dies from time to time. I get no response from the usb or power switch. I can turn my G5 on from the computer so i think it works. If I connect the keyboard straight to the G5 I can get the eject and stuff to work. Even if the Display is burned out shouldn't the circuitry enable the keyboard to work?
I think it is the Display. I wiggled the cord and card once and got it to work, but to no avail this time. I don't think there is a cord issue. The latest death came while i was working on a letter- there was no jostle. The display just went dead.
I will be starting the process of repairs tomorrow, as it has died and not come back tonight. Mine is three years old, but only has a year of work life on it. I expect more from Apple and a $3K display. Unless this fixes easy- and cheaply- it will be the last display I buy. Anybody else experience this? What is the next step to recovery?
Good luck and Thanks.

I wish my reply could be more helpful, but all I can say at this time is I feel your pain. Almost exactly. I too have a 3-year-old 22-inch Cinema Display, and a G5. I also have a second monitor, an older 15-inch Cinema Display. I leave my CPU running in sleep mode when I'm not using it. Two days ago, when I tried to awaken it in the morning, the 22-inch display was dead. Fortunately the 15-inch still works, but I miss those wide open spaces. The 22-inch could not be more lifeless. No LED indicators. I had the keyboard plugged into its USB port, but that didn't work any more either, so now I've plugged the keyboard into a separate USB hub.
Were you able to resolve your issue? I'm trying to figure out troubleshooting steps. It would be nice if Apple offered tech support of some kind, but if they do, they do an excellent job of keeping that fact hidden.

  • Using a non Apple Display with the Mini

    I am considering purchasing a Mac Mini.
    It will be installed in my living room and connected to my stereo to play music from iTunes.
    In this area I only have about 19 inches of width. So I'm looking at purchasing a non Apple display that will fit in this width.
    What requirements should I look for in a display (hopefully to avoid adapters)?

    Recommend you buy from someplace that has a good exchange/return policy.
    Thanks, I always do, especially with a display.
    Some places have a policy that requires a certain number of dead pixels before they will accept a return.
    I ALWAYS test a display with 'Pixel Tester' immediately. If I find ANY defective pixels I return the display, and I never say the word "pixel" to them.
    having one dead pixel that is white, for example, while all others show color, can be annoying.
    And hard to re-sell later. Look on ebay, you will find many ads for used computers and displays that say "No Dead Pixels".

  • My Ipod Nano 6g shows a sad/dead face

    My Ipod Nano 6g shows a sad/dead face when i try to turn it on, can i do something about that or is it just dead?

    Sounds like it's flash storage is dying.  In that case, see this Apple support document.

  • •Big Props on New 30" Apple Display!!!!!

    Well I have been putting off getting a 30" since they came out due to fears of dead pixels, dancing pixels, and etc.
    Well I had to write in because I must say that this new 30" is THE BEST APPLE DISPLAY I HAVE EVER BOUGHT!
    I have owned every LCD by apple and with the exception of the old clear sided 15", EVERY ONE had a dead or stuck pixel (or 2) or bad bleeding.
    Knock on wood, this monster has not a single flaw! Coupled with the fact (which I didnt know till I purchased) that you can buy Apple Care for just the screen, its an amazing value!
    Three cheers!
    G5 D2.0 4 GiG nVidia 6800 Ultra / 17" MacBookPro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    That was the solution! The case of the fuzzy fonts and the pixelated pics is now solved. Thank you very much!
    Unfortunately, everything now seems a bit, well, miniature. That's somewhat of an exaggeration, but pages on the internet are smaller than they should be. Even the hard drive icon is rather smallish, and the dock, which has always stretched across the bottom of the display only covers about 3/4 of the real estate down there. Any ideas about how to fix that? I've looked at System Preferences>Appearances, but no luck. I even checked out Universal Access, but that wasn't the answer. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Using an external non-Apple display on a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion

    On Friday I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard and now I am not able to use my 23" Samsung monitor exclusively as my display. I can mirror the MacBook Pro's display, but then my HD monitor's resolution is downgraded.
    I used to start-up my MacBook Pro pushing the "On" button and then quickly closing the notebook. When it has started and the display was shown on my Samsung monitor, I opened the MacBook and all would be well. I had the benefit of the full HD resolution of my Samsung monitor, with all the menus and the MacBook's screen would be blank. If I follow the same steps now, the moment I open my MacBook, everything shifts back to the MacBook and the external screen only shows the background picture, with no menus.
    I am a photographer and use the large HD-quality screen to see fine detail when I am doing editing. I do not like to work on two screens at the same time, and would prefer it to just keep on working in the same way as previuosly.
    Can someone please give me advice on my problem?

    This may help but then it may not. I tested it with my iMac and non-Apple second display so results may vary.
    With both the MacBook and the second display powered on go to the Apple Menu > System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement
    Drag the Menu Bar to the second display and then drag the display itself to the other side of the second display. This should allow acces to the dock and Menubar on the non-Apple display and achive your desired results.
    Note: If I sleep my iMac the second display stops so you may need to keep your MacBook open to use these settings
    Hope that helps

  • USB-C to mini display port and thunderbolt apple displays

    I currently have a 24 in late 2008 Apple Cinema Display connected to a 2008 MacBook.  This particular display has a three pronged connector (MagSafe, mini DisplayPort, conventional USB).  I am thinking of upgrading to the new MacBook but am concerned about the compatibility with my display.  Will there be an adapter or solution to connect the USB-C port to the three pronged connector of the apple Cinema Display?  I see that USB-C port has support for hdmi, VGA, and standard display port but I see nothing about Mini DisplayPort or MagSafe.  There is also no mention of thunderbolt dislay connectivity (for newer adopters of Apple displays).  I understand innovation often comes at a price but it seems like a fairly large oversight to potentially obsolete fairly expensive larger apple Mini DisplayPort and thunderbolt devices for people who are looking to upgrade.  This will certainly factor into my decision in purchasing new apple laptops in the future, especially if the standard inevitably moves toward USB-C on all devices.  Thanks for any help!

    You can connect your 24" display with the Apple HDMI adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/us/product/MJ1K2AM/A/usb-c-digital-av-multiport-adapter>
    followed by a HDMI to Mini DisplayPort converter
    <http://www.kanex.com/xd>
    The MacBook USB-C connector does support DisplayPort, so there may be a future adapter that would avoid the HDMI conversion.
    You won't be able to use the MagSafe cable.

    I am looking for an adaptor (to VGA or DVI-D)for a 2004 vintage Apple Cinema Display.   The ADC is rounded sides per photo below.   I want to use this monitor with a desktop PC but am unable to locate an adaptor.   Any suggestions ?
    PS - virtually all searches produce newer style adaptors but not one which will work with this setup.
    Suggestions appreciated.

    HAS ANYBODY HAD ANY EXPIERENCE WITH THIS SELLER? I REALLY WANT A 30" APPLE DISPLAY AND DON'T WANT TO SPEND AND ARM AND A LEG TO GET ONE???!?
    THANKS!!

    MBP,
    1. No one has any experience with this seller. "purpleyoga1124 ( 0 )". Note the big ZERO after the seller's ID. Zero means no feedback.
    2. The manufacturing cost of a 30-inch display is over $1500. You made read http://www.digitimes.com/ daily to get a feel for actual mfg costs.
    THIS IS A SCAM!

  • Using 30" Apple Display  as a TV monitor

    Hi,
    I want to know if I can repalce my old TV for a 30" Apple display, so that I can use it both as a computer monitor and as a TV monitor. Specifically can I connect it to a digital cable service. Will I be able to see HDTV ? If this is possible, how do I do it?

    Basically by connecting it to a mac of some description you would be able to use it as a computer monitor, have something fairly similar to tv in front row and with the aid of an eye tv receiver or similar you could watch and record various anologue and digital tv stations.
    The problems you are up against is that the 30" display requires a dual DVI output (that's dual in one connecter not two single DVI outputs) I don't think the mac mini is up to it and as far as I know desktops don't do front row, which leaves you with top end laptops.
    If you don't already have a computer for the job, it would be far cheaper to go for a new HD TV and tv than a computer just so you can utilise your monitor.

  • Can I use two  non-apple displays on my G5? Is there an adaptor for this?

    I found a great deal on two non-Apple wide screen displays. I can hook up one to my G5 via the DVI port but can't use the second port--typically used by an Apple Display. Is there an adaptor that I can use so that I can use my second non-apple display?

  • Which imacs and apple displays connect to late 2008 aluminum macbook 13 inch for use as external display?

    I have a late 2008 13 inch aluminum macbook and want to purchase an iMac computer or apple display to use as an external display for it while I'm at my desk.
    I can afford up to $700 for sure, maybe up to $1000 and would like one that has built in camera and audio if possible.
    I'd like to know what my options are as it seems not all are compatible.
    I'll mostly be doing web browsing and photo editing in Aperture.
    Also wondering if it's possible to sync 2 computers so that when you make changes on one it reflects the changes in the other. Like you can with certain apps like Evernote.
    Thank you for your help!

    Yes he is right, Snow Leopard is your first step.  Once you have that you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion if memory serves me correct.  Some people were saying that Lion was a little sluggish with the aluminum MacBook but that Mountain Lion was great.  Personally I had Lion on it also and didn't think it ran badly.  10.6 was still with Rosetta (the program that ran power pc apps) but this is dropped on 10.7 and up.  Up until just the other day I still had the stock 2 gb of ram.  The firmware update happens with Snow Leopard and up so it should come up as a software update.  If not, it can be done manually as well.  The ram I purchased was 60 bucks for the 8 gb.  For Lion and Mountain Lion I have to agree with the above reply, that it would run alot better with at least 4 gb.  If you run that many apps at once then you are going to want as much ram as you can get.  If you add a solid state drive you will be amazed at the difference it will make too.

  • Running two Apple displays from one Macbook Pro?

    I have two Apple displays with mini-display ports.  I have ONE Macbook Pro with ONE mini-display port.  Problem.
    I purchased this USB 2.0 to DVI Display Adapter from Monoprice but still can't figure out how to get my mini-display ports to work with this.
    Is this even the right product? 

    You can use another DVI, VGA, or even HDMI display for far cheaper with this adapter, US$60 plus shipping:

    Warning: Results may be unacceptably laggy.
    But a converter to Mini DisplayPort is quite expensive, US$150 plus shipping:

    First format the drive to OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored:
    Next drag your iPhoto library from your Pictures folder to the EHD.  When the copying is complete launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and in the window that comes up select the library on the EHD:
    Check the file path under the window to make sure the correct library has been selected.
    Once you've confirmed that the EHD library is working properly and has all of your photos you can delete the library in your Pictures folder.
