24" LED display just DIED!!!!

My 24" LED display has been working without issue connected to my Mac Mini server, but tonight just started flickering (mostly black with an occasional split second glimpse at a blue screen then straight to black again).
I shut the Mac Mini down (held power button in was the only route). Reset SMC, PRAM etc etc, restarted but no image at all on the 24" Display.
I connected up a Samsung Full HD monitor I have kicking around through the Mini DVI to DVI adapter and no flickering.
I connected the 24" up to my 27" iMac MDP and. . . nothing. 24" is completely dead.
Anybody else experienced this or similar. Anyone experienced this and found a fix?
Apple Store tomorrow that's for sure!

Update:
I contacted my local Apple Store and booked a Genius Appointment (saw them on Tuesday- just passed- @ 3).
Genius was a great guy. Diagnosed the issue and ordered a new replacement unit, which should be here today or tomorrow.

Try removing the powercord for a minute or two
if that does not help disconnect the connector to the front display for a minute or two.
Good luck ...

Question re: 1920x1200 RGB LED Display and the Macbook Pros LED display.

My question to the Apple guys here is. What type of LED technology is used in the MacBook Pro's LED display?
I just did a side by side with my buddies new 15" MBP and my new DELL Studio 1737 which has a 1920x1200 which has RGB LED display. I had it second day air FEdEx shipped because I was dying to see this new tech.
And did it blow us away, supposedly since its this new RGB LED it displays something around 98% or 110% of the NTSC color gamut very accurate for graphics and photo work.
My buddy almost dropped when we saw the color accuracy and differences with the MBP. And why hasn't Apple adopted this superior technology?

What do you mean they don't have LED its right on the main page.
Read it carefully, it says "Ultrathin 15-inch LED-backlit display." The "LED-backlit display" part means that the backlighting is LED (as opposed to fluorescent), not the display panel itself (which is LCD).
...Dell has the RGB LED backlighting....
The Dell display you referred to is an RGB LED display, it doesn't have (or need) backlighting. It uses red, green and blue light emitting diodes to produce images, as opposed to a liquid crystal display, which uses color filtered backlighting to produce images.
its confusing why Apple has not adopted this new tech to its high end $3,000 MBP 17 models.
Yet. The 17" MBPs are reportedly due for a significant hardware revision next month. In any case, RGB LED displays have their own performance issues when compared to LCD displays, so don't get too excited, and they may not be thin enough to fit Apple's ultrathin design philosophy.
I have no idea what RGB LED was it just seemed better, and boy did it pay off.
I'm sure you'll have loads of fun with Windows Vista.

!!! We Want Design-Specs Of The MEGA LED-displays !!!

Every once in a while someone opens a topic in which he/she askes for a possibility to control the LED display. Some have even sent e-mails to MSI support, only to receive no for an answer. I see no reason why MSI could not release more details about the LED panel, specifically because most of us feel like a bunch of Beta-testers. Hey, we don't even ask for a complete SDK-kit, I think that sufficient knowledge about (hardware)programming is available amongst the users of this forum to make direct use of the design specifications.
Therefore I would ask you to reply to this post to make a general statement towards MSI, and hopefully convince them of releasing the so-wanted data.
JaDi.

I think you know that I want this for a long time:
sure I will support you
But unfortunatly I see just two solutions for this problems you won't like:
[list=1]
We program it
We all travel to the Taiwan headquarters and start a hunger strike on front of the main building.[/list=1]
I prefer 1
Second thing: I worte to MSI (germany) for the specs of the LCD and they transfered by to a technician/programmer in Taiwan. After his holiday he told me that he mustn't give any information about it out. This is again one more example of data protection that just blocks every kind of progress. At the moment I AM expecting an SDK. I won't spend my whole free time to do THEIR job - well and if I do - I'm sure I will charge. I've seen this trouble with the girder plugin which was very very little work compared with an LCD control - enough is enough
Why should anybody of us HELP MSI do make their products more attractive? That's what it's really all about.

Macbook goes to sleep randomely when connected to Apple LED Display

I have an issue with my Macbook Pro (2009 model) when it's connected to my 27' Apple LED Display. For no apparent reason that I can tell, it just goes to sleep at random, and after I wake it up by pressing a key (bluetooth keyboard), the mouse cursor looks messed up:
It might be a bit hard to tell from the blurry photo (I don't know of a way to take a screenshot with the cursor, so I used my iPhone), but it's too halves of the spinning beachball.
There's nothing in the console's log that indicates the reason for switching to sleep mode. It's also not the magnets of the Macbook pro used to detected when the lid is closed (I'm using the NoSleep utility that prevents that behavior). I've already tried resetting the PRAM. Also, this behavior never happens when the macbook isn't connected to the external display, so that probably aint a heating problem either (also the temperature readings are all in bounds).
Any help would be very appreciated, as that thing is driving me crazy.

Jon,
Along the lines of my comment in your other thread. The battery connection cable between the logic board and the battery is also known as the "sleep/switch" connector. This little cable not only communicates battery power to & from the machine but also has a handle on regulating the machine's sleep process (and wake from sleep).
I've seen several MacBooks that have come across my work bench which are suffering from this exact issue you're describing and we're remedied by replacing that cable.
The component I'm referring to is this one-

Macbook to LED display: help me save my battery!

I have a brand new macbook pro 13-inch, and i have it connected to an apple LED display (the one that came out right before the new thunderbolt led display). There are 3 connections from the macbook to the display. One goes into the power supply port one into the DVI or thunderbolt port, and the other into the USB.
I am wondering why i can't just remove the first one (the power supply) without my external monitor turning off?
Why should that happen, when the monitor has its own power supply coming from a cord plugged into the wall, and why can it not just run off of my laptops battery?
The reason i'm asking is because i don't want to have the power supply constantly plugged into my laptop anymore. The last laptop that i did this with, the battery expanded and warped my computer.
I very rarely use my laptop as an actual laptop, so i like this setup where my laptop acts as sort of a desktop computer, with wireless keyboard and mouse connected.
i have no other way to drain the battery essentially, but when i unplug it, the external monitor turns black. is there some way to stop this from happening? I dont understand why it would effect the monitor when it should be getting it's power from the wall.

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with ONE computer at a time. If you attempt to sync such content with a second computer, ALL itunes content will first be erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature & cannot be overridden. Because you formatted your computer, the iphone will see your computer as a "new" computer.
1.First, disable auto sync when an ipod/iphone is connected, in preferences, in itunes, which in windows is in the edit menu.
2. Put one contact & one event in whatever programs you use for that purpose on your computer, they can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is to have one entry in each.
3. Connect your phone, itunes running, DO NOT SYNC.
4. Go up to Store>Authorize this Computer.
5. Go up to File>Transfer Purchases. All of the purchased itunes content on your phone will be transferred, music you ripped on your own will not be transferred. You will have to use third party software to first extract that music from your phone BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING. Same for photos not in your camera roll, the photo sync is one way...computer to phone. This is one example:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
6. Right click the phone in the device pane & select Reset Warnings.
7. Right click the phone, again, & select Backup.
8. Right click the phone, again, & select Restore from Backup. Select the backup you just made.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select as before from the various tabs.
You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
This article details what's included in the backup you'll make & restore from:

How well does the new Apple 24" LED Display work?

Hey guys
Im thinking of purchasing a 24" LED Display from Apple, just because I need a bigger screen to work on, as I edit photos, and film and I've been looking into one for awhile. Buck for buck, is this monitor a good companion to the unibody MacBook pros with the mini display port? Of course, its looks all glitz and glamour on the mac site but has anyone worked with these things hands on? What are the pros and cons?

The display is very easy to use; considering you'll probable be plugging in the display multiple times per day this is really important.
The built in display is LED lit (cool light) sense the 24" is also LED lit (cool light), there is a greater consistency in color between the two displays.
Traditional LCD displays have a warmer glow due to using a fluorescent tube. Trying to go between LED and and fluorescent tube displays could drive you insane. especially if your using both displays at the same time for photography, where color can be very important.

Anyone using the 24" LED Display

Just wondered if anyone here uses the new 24" LED Display with their 13" MacBook? How does it perform and look? Any issues with the latest 10.5.6 upgrade?

i am and i'm very happy with it. been working off laptop screens solely for years so having this when working from home is great.

Plug 24" LED Display into Mac Pro, Still Charge MacBook Air?

Just set up my Mac Pro using the 24" LED Display I used to use with my MacBook Air. With the USB and Mini DisplayPort now plugged into the Mac Pro, could I still plug the MagSafe power cable into the Air to charge it in a pinch, or is there any reason I'd need to unplug the Mac Pro connection first?
(Rather be safe than sorry...)

Thanks much! Unless anyone cares to chime in with an opposing view, I'll be using the 24" as a spare MagSafe to recharge the Air when I'm at home...

24" LED DISPLAY NO MIC OR INPUT

Hello
I cannot for the life of me get the mic working on my LED display. It did work and then stopped. I have tried unplugging display, restarting, deleting preferences.... just cannot get any input.

If the issue continues with other machines, then the culprit must be the display. If the microphone input works with other machines, then the issue is with the computer itself (or its OS).
Good luck

24" LED Display Power Cable

I bought a second hand LED display a few months back, and it didn't come with one of the Apple power cables. Now I know they're just regular leads that look nice but does anyone know where I can pick one up? I need a UK one but can't seem to find one anywhere!

Come on guys, nobody a 24" LED Display AND a 15" MBP...? It is impossible!
Anybody. Please!

Photobooth and new 24 inch LED Display

I have just received my new display today and it is breathtaking.
I am using it with a new macbook pro. Sound has connected ok. ichat defaults once set to the display isight. BUT, photobooth will just not go to the display isight.
Any ideas guys?

Not sure, but it only seems to work (photo booth) with the LED Display iSight when you have the MBP lid closed. If the lid is open, it only uses the MBP's iSight.

Leads to Connect 24-inch Apple LED Display to my PowerPC

I have a Mac Desktop Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 Serial CK626*V5V with version 10.5.8. What lead will connect my just purchased 24-inch Apple LED Display to my PowerPC?
<Edited by Host>

What lead will connect my just purchased 24-inch Apple LED Display to my PowerPC?
Click here for one. The link is to a PDF. Aside from a converter such as this, a graphics card with a Mini DisplayPort is needed.

Stereo from dual LED displays

I've got a workstation with dual 24" LEDs at the office, but I work in a room with another person and am regularly back and forth between headphones and speakers. A few times out of just not wanting to get to the back of the tower and switch the Line Out I went to the system preferences and changed to Display Audio.
This was more convenient for something fast, and each display clearly has left and right channels, but I can't help but wonder if there's a way to set one of the displays to be the left channel and the other one to be the right? If it makes a difference they're both going in over the small, proprietary connector. I don't remember what it's called.
Also, sidenote, the brightness button on the keyboard only adjust one display, not both. I wondered if it would be like the disc drives where you hold option and hit eject and the other display's brightness changes, but not the case. Seems a bit inconsistent, but not a big deal really.

Thanks! Yes I bought the 24" LED display. I love it! Pulled away the glass, with a suction cap but seem quite sacrificial on this display so put it straight back!
