23" Cinema Display Hinge is Broken

Does anyone know where I can order this part (it's the hinge/base device that attaches to the back of the monitor)? I've checked with both of my local authorized service shops and they want to charge me around $450 plus leave the monitor for several weeks. I just want the part so I can install it myself (about 10 minutes of work).
Thanks in advance,
Craig

Hi,
I don't know whether this will be of help but last year I started having all sorts of problems with my 23" Cinema Display. I replaced the power supply 'brick' - but still had problems (blank screen etc) - read lots about issues with these displays. I was running 10.4.11 - In the end I tried re-installing the system on another drive up to 10.4.8 - and it's worked fine ever since (it also cured a number of other weird problems) - ok, so I can't get the latest itunes software - but at least I have a screen that works. It seems that anything above 10.4.8 causes problems on my G5 Dual Power PC.

  • Cinema display how to fix broken cable?

    The connector of the power cable that goes into the power adaptor from my 30"cinema display just cracked, so now the monitor won't power on.  It's a fine working monitor, but how the **** do I fix this?   The cable is fused to the monitor itself.   It's obviously out of warranty and I'm very handy.  Is this something I can attempt to fix myself somehow?   How much would a service center charge to fix something as simple as this?  It's just the very tip of the power plug that's cracked open. 

    Thanks for the reply Malcolm.
    That's what's so baffling and why I had to ask the question here.
    I'm using a HDCP compliant monitor (or at least it should be on an Apple monitor purchased late 2009-early 2010) and I still get an error. Everywhere I've checked it says the 24'' is HDCP compliant. Maybe I just missed the upgrade somehow?
    Also to note: my old laptop was purchased post 2008. So the HDCP measures would have already taken affect and I was able to play HD videos just fine.

  • Ripped Display Ribbon and Broken Hinges.

    G4 Pismo question; Is it easier to just replace the whole top half with the LCD, display, hinges, bezel and wires or is it worth just replacing the hinges and ribbon? There's nothing wrong with my LCD. First the hinges went and eventually that data ribbon was sawed in half now I'm dead in the water. The unit has sat for a while and I took it apart and re-assembled it twice. I'd like to check it out before I spend any more time and money but without the data ribbon the machine shuts right off. Any ideas?

  • Broken LCD 23" cinema display need your HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    hi can anyone help me im trying to look for replacement LCD for my 23" cinema Display i check ebay none is there a web? i can buy it?

    Thats really helpful Dave, well done for going to the effort of making a post which is less than useful.
    It may surprise you to learn that not everybody speaks english, and a great many people don't speak perfect english. A purist/elitist would include the entire united states on that list.
    If you don't have the capacity to interpret less than perfect english, please feel free to complain to someone else who might actually care about your opinion. I find your post ignorant and intolerant as well as thoughtless.
    To provide a slightly more helpful answer to the original question, the LCD panel used in the 23" cinema display is not a common thing to find. Your best bet is to find one with a failed inverter or controller board and swap parts yourself. Apple service providers can only swap out the whole unit for you. Even they are not allowed to order components for these units.

  • Cinema Display 30" problem

    Hi
    I have a 30 inch Cinema Display from 2006-ish. I have not used it for a while and when i powered it up again a few days ago it was kind of broken.
    There is no image from my Mac, only these vertical lines (check the photos). The lines change a bit if I move a window around and using a different Mac does not help.

    The screen itself appears to be intact. Does anyone know of anything I can try to get it fixed? Or replace a part or two?

    If you're not yet sorted - I had similar prob with my then 1 year-old iMac - AppleCare swore blind it wasn't a hardware problem and told me to wipe my hard drive and re-install EVERYTHING...!
    Fortunately, I didn't believe them, and hunted thru various forums...and identified that, as I thought, it WAS a hardware prob - and the next AppleCare guy acknowledged it and sorted the repair, finally!
    The heat sensor was from a bad batch (that it turned out Apple knew about and could have identified immediately by the serial number, so could have saved me days of frustration and wasted time) and it was erroneously turning the Mac off as what it perceived was a safety thing. Hope that helps...

  • Cinema display serial number from plist

    Hi, I need help getting my cinema display serial number from an old Plist file.  My office was broken into recently and someone made off with the monitor.  It's a long shot but I thought I could find the serial number for the campus police.  I was able to find an old com.apple.windowserver.plist file that had some information for the display.  I tried the command <defaults read ./com.apple.windowserver.plist> and came up with the following.  Problem is they don't look like serial numbers for a cinema display.  Any suggestions? 
                    DisplayID = 69530633;
                    DisplayProductID = 37430;
                    DisplaySerialNumber = 42039688;
                    DisplayVendorID = 1552;

    Hi ,
    Go to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist. Open this with TextWrangler or a similar utility. Look for a DisplaySerialNumber key with an integer value that isn't 0. With any luck, this should be the s/n of your display.
    If you haven't used this display for a while, the records of it may be gone.
    Also, it appears that this isn't guaranteed. Double-check if possible.

  • Taking my 20" Cinema display on the road; how do I remove the stand?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm planning to do alot of work on location this summer and would like to find a way to remove the stand attached to my 20" LCD Cinema Display so that I can pack them both into a smaller case. I've just removed the allen key cover on the right hand side (from the front) and was presented with a more complicated challenge inside the mount. It seemed to me to be a good time to consult the support forum before things went horribly wrong....
    Are there instructions anywhere that show how to dissasemble the hinge where the display meets the stand? Without destroying either?
    Can anyone recommend a lie-flat/two piece stand I can take with me on location?
    Many thanks,
    Andrew

    Look at me; I'm clever.
    Solution found at http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/073-0933.pdf
    After removing the two screws, the stand didn't want to pull off easily and I thought it may still be attached. It turns out that the attachment point was just sticky and needed a firm pull.
    Thanks internet!

  • Second display from iMac27" (late 2009) miniDisplay Port worked fine until today- now no longer connects to Apple Cinema Display

    Have a configuration of an iMac27" (MAC 27"/4850-512MB PROCESSOR 2.66GHZ QUAD-CORE INTEL CORE I5 Dec 2009 model) and a second screen Apple Cinema Display 2009 model 24"
    The setup with the Apple Cinema Display has been working fine for 3 years and since yesterday the second screen refuses to work.
    Connected it to a MacBookPro and the Apple Cinema DIsplay functions fine sot my conclusion is it is not the Apple Cinema Display's error.
    Could it be that the Mini Display Port on the iMac is somehow broken? Or is there a software fix I need to checkout?
    Thanks for your help on resolving this issue.

    UPDATE:
    As noted in the first post, both of these newer USB DAC work fine at 24/96 on my wife's iMac, so it's clear that they didn't both become defective when I connected them to the Macbook Pro at the same time.
    Resetting the Macbook Pro PRAM didn't help, so I removed the hard shell laptop case to get to the battery and remove it, then reset the SMC. After that I could use the original DAC at 24/96 again, but only IF it was plugged into the rear USB port. If I plugged it into the front USB port then the sound was garbled and filled with noise. This was a vast improvement over no sound at all.
    Then I switched to the replacement/updated DAC, but I got no sound at all from either USB port at any bit-rate. And returning to the original DAC again now results in no sound again.
    Sigh... I will reset the PRAM and SMC again, and see how far I can get with this. I'd still love some help. Thanks!

  • Macbook Pro no longer support Apple Cinema Display after graphic update 1.0

    I recently updated my system to ver. 10.5.2 and after that I updated to graphic system 1.0. After that my macbook pro began to have several problems dealing with my 23" Apple Cinema Display.
    1- if started in 'closed lid' mode it gives me a kernel panic (shaded screen) error during start up
    2- if started in 'open lid' mode it boots fine but whether i decide to close the lid it fails to wake from sleep mode. It starts for one or two seconds and then it gets back to sleep.
    So, I made a long time taking test during the weekend and after several "archive and install" I found that this issue is related to the leopard graphic system update 1.0. Somehow this update mess up the way that macbook pro deals with my Apple Cinema Display.
    I hope that someone at Apple will address this issue toward a solution in a short time.
    I appreciate any other experience in this sense by anybody.
    Thank you for any reply.

  • Do I need a converter to connect G5 to 20" CInema Display (both old)?

    Hi. We moved from New York back to Buenos Aires three years ago. We brought our Power G5 and Cinema Display (I forgot what year we bought them but it must have been around 2006). There are no Apple Stores here and little support.
    Both the computer and the display have been in their boxes for three years and I seem to have forgotten how to connect them properly. The computer turns on normally, but not the display. So it´s either broken (which I doubt) or there is a step I´m not taking.
    The display has a cable with three different connectors. No power cord. 
    My question is if maybe there is an adapter/converter I need. Maybe I had it before and misplaced it somewhere. Any idea?
    Thank you for your help,
    Martin

  • Cinema Display Support Part.

    The support for my 15" cinema display bit the dust about three weeks ago. I've tried to fix it on my own but no amount of super glue will hold up the weight of the monitor. I am looking for a replacement of the failed support. Does anyone have an extra support, or a broken monitor with the cinema display support in tact?

  • Cinema Display DVI connector replacement.

    I was wondering if it were possible to get the DVI connector on my 20" Cinema Display replaced, 2 of the pins on the connector have been broken off . Does apple offer this service?

    What kind of Macbook Pro do you have?  The Retina Macbook Pro needs a different magsafe.  If you have the retina Macbook Pro, you can buy the Magafe 2 adapter.

  • Will a wet dropped 20 inch Cinema display work?

    I have a Cube and 2 ower Mac G3s I had been eyeing a display for ages at a local junk store Hard Off in Japan 'Do not laugh ! in the past years since the Earthquake the Jaanese around Sendai have been throwing out broken things caused by the 2011 Eartquake I have picked u some rubbish and good stuff I like to take apart Macs and try to fix or mod them.
    Today I came across 2 Aple Keyboards a Blue tooth Mouse and OBS 20inch Cinema display ! wow ! it had been raining hard for 3 days they were dumped at the Tohoku University QawaOochi Campus ,famous for Fibre Optics and now Gigabyte internet spead research They are famous for getting top funding so they renew Computers often and just dump the unwanted they can not sell or give them away !
    I took it to work and I was on my bike ,when I got off  it droped on the ground and the plastic corner cracked but I was more worried about the water inside.
    I dismantled it and found water inside the clear plastic case and the case that looks Aliminium but it is lastic the screws are tough to unwind and was well closed
    sorry image to large so can not insert. It is possible water seaped into the front of monitor ot not the back.
    I may have broken cracked some inner circit board by dropping the water can dry as long as I give time in a warm dry place before replacing the back lastic but I dare not venture further because of foil and complex metal casing inside,there is a mesh cover and inside a mother board I am thinking when the weather hanges to put it outside in the sunshine and the air in autumn is very dry here on clear days I need to warm it and a breeze at the same time.
    These things were 3,999 USD when new and now are just 100 USD on  eBay if it does not work I will take apart and sell the parts.
    I left the 2 Keyboards alone , once water gets in they are difficult to dry and will short.
