ADC 17" Studio LCD Dispaly. 2 inch vertical

I just bought a used display model, just because of its looks. The new displays (aluminium) are like any other "john doe" displays.
anyway long story short. As soon as I got this, hooked up the POWER MAC G4 733 Digital audio computer. After 2 minutes or so, there appears a big inch vertial patch, (either in grey color or white color). I did some research on this problem. I could not get a straight answer how to fix it or how much it costs to fix it.
Local Apple store guys say, "they are old buy our new stuff". No I bought this monitor just for the pleasing look.
even in the google search there is no mention of this problem or something, or I feel it is like some kind of top secret alien stuff.

Thanks. The Studio Display's prongs don't match the female end of the Mini DisplayPort to DVI. Photo attached. Also from what I can tell online, the adaptor you suggested is for newer displays like the Cinema Display. Any suggestions?

17" Studio LCD Display connect to G3

I recently purchased a 17" Studio LCD Display which came with an ADC to DVI adapter.
Then I picked up an adapter, but it was the wrong kind. It was DVI to VGA which still required the present VGA/G3 adapter ... the connection was going through three adapters that way. The monitor didn't light up. When I pressed the On/Off button (bottom right on front of display) the button lit up while my finger was on it and then faded to dark when I removed my finger. The system did not recognize the connection on the pci card either. I was able to hook everything up physically but the display didn't go on.
When I plugged the UBS pigtail in, my system could see and recognize the monitor on the UBS port. So apparently, the driver software won't be a problem.
Rather than putzing with adapters and connectors, I'd prefer to swap out the VGA card with a DVI video card for the G3. Is there such a video card available for the G3?
Is this even feasible?
The reason I need to keep this G3 is because it has a SCSI port (running Classic 9.2.2) which I require for an expensive high end scanner. Until I can find a comparable unit compatible with my new iMac I'd like to keep the G3 but would really like to hook up the lcd display on it.
Any ideas?

Exactly my problem too (and many others surely!)
I have a macbook and a 17" LCD studio display which has a plug with 30 pins. As understand it, it is a DVI-I dual ink.
I was about to buy the DVI adaptor from the mac store as it would appear to do the job but I learned that it is DVI-D and not DVI-I as is required. I searched for another picture of this adaptor (the pic on the mac store is decidely unhelpful) and it is clear from looking at it that it will not fit.
Anyone know what to do here?

Did any of the 17-inch Studio LCD displays have an S-Video input?

The subject line says it all.
I know that years ago I had an Apple LCD display that had an S-Video input, but I don't remember which model and size it was.
Thanks for the help.

I finally got the 17 inch display apart.
I took some pictures while it was apart, and I will put them on my iDisk as soon as I get around to it.
Here are a few pointers:
1. The 17 inch display is completely different from the 12 and 15 inch displays. Don't waste your money on any take apart guides for those models. They won't help you; they will only confuse you.
2. The main source of difficulty in separating the back from the display is that it is held on by these fiendish spring-metal fingers that actually tighten their grip when you attempt to pull the back off.
3. Don't use metal tools to pry the back off. You will scratch it, bend it, and damage the cables that run just inside where the case opens up.
4. Wrap the cable ends in tissue and secure with tape to prevent them from scratching the screen while you wrestle with the display.
5. Start working from the hinged end of the display. The fingers down at this end come loose fairly easily, and the hinge prevents the screen from flexing as you pry the back away, thus preventing the screen from cracking.
6. Use plastic putty knives , popsicle sticks or tongue depressors to pry the back away from the screen and shim the opening. Slide them along or insert new ones as you go.
7. As you open up the gap between the aluminum back and the gray plastic trim ring, look inside for the bright metal spring clips. They will be hidden behind tabs projecting from the gray plastic trim ring. Take a small jeweler's screwdriver and carefully pry the edge of the spring clip outward and towards the back. Be careful not to pierce the Airport cable which is strung around the outside of the display very close to these clips.
8. Once you have release the spring clips from the bottom and both sides of the display, slide the back up and off of the display assembly. Set the back aside and place the display assembly face down on the work table.
Whew!
You are now ready to proceed with repairs to the display assembly.

DVI to ADC adapter STudio display will not power on when used with Mac mini

I have a Mac mini and I just purchased a used apple 17" CRT studio display. I bought the DVI to ADC Adapter as recommended by my Apple store. When I hook everything up (I have checked and redone this two times) The power light will come on for about a second when presses. When the mini powers up there is a blank dark screen. I would appreciate any ideas on this. thanks!

Hi
unfortunately I think the Apple store have sold you the wrong item.
I'm almost certain the DVI to ADC adapter only works with ADC based flat panel displays. DVI ports can output digital or analogue signals (or a combination of the two). The adapter seems to provide digital, which is why it works with the LCD displays, but not analogue, which is why it doesn't work with the CRT displays.
Confusingly Apple did a 17" Studio display both as a CRT and LCD.
Dr. Bott do a similar adapter but they explicitly state it's not compatible with the 17" CRT.
Unfortunately I'm not sure there's a solution, as the display has an ADC connector yet I'm not aware of any adapters available that will work.

17" Studio Monitor Display with single, vertical color line

My 17" Studio Monitor just recently developed a single, vertical color line in the display. No matter what I am viewing the color line is there. Re-boot doesn't remove it. Neither does un-plugging the computer.
Anyone know the cause and/or remedy?
Thanks for any help!

There is an adapter called a DVIator that you will need ..or something similar. It will turn turn the ADC connection into a DVI connection ..then you would need something to turn regular DVI into the Mini DVI connection to fit into the iMac.
Personally, I don't think it would be worth the cost ..the DVIator alone is like $100. I'd just buy a new screen for that price. Preferably one that was a little closer to the same brightness of the 24" iMac's screen. I had my old Studio display next to my new 24" iMac and it looked so old and dingy I wouldn't be able to stand the difference using it as a second monitor.

Dual ADC Apple Studio Displays (clear acrylic) with Mac Mini

I currently have the old school Apple Studio Display ADC monitor hooked up to my Mac Mini using the ADC to DVI adapter. I have a second Studio ADC Display and another ADC to DVI adapter to run Dual Displays. I just bought a SEE 2 XTREME DVI to USB which is used for adding multiple monitors. I have it all hooked up. Its just basic plug and play after installing the Mac driver. My second monitor power light just flashes and wont turn on...Any suggestions? I already made sure both monitors and both ADC to DVI adapters worked, and they do. Please Help!! Any info would be greatly appreciated.

yea, I checked that out about the light flashes. I have tried both monitors seperately and they both work fine...just not with this DVI to USB dual monitor adapter. Also, when I had them hooked up individually, I made sure the resolution was set the same in the system preferences > displays.

When did Apple switch to 'chome' Apple logo on Cinema/Studio LCD display?

Hi all,
Just curious as to when (approximately) Apple switched from using the graphite colored Apple logos (front and back) to the 'chrome' or mirrored logos on the clear-enclosure LCD Cinema / Studio Displays? Did this change indicate any significant 'internal' product changes or was it purely cosmetic?
I'm only asking because I recently purchased a used 17" LCD Studio Display that only lasted 3 days before it suffered a backlight problem. I took it back to the store where I bought it and luckily they had another to exchange it with. The original 17" LCD I bought had the graphite Apple logos, but the exchange unit has the chrome logos.
Thanks very much in advance.

Believed it was purely cosmetic to match the 23" HD version (which was the first to have the new look in 2002). The new look with the 17" occurred with release of the new 20" Cinema Display (January 2003). The 17" also received a price cut at that time. More info at EveryMac.

Wall Mount For Studio LCD Display?

Hello,
Anyone know a good (cheap) way of mounting the Apple 15" studio display to the wall? The issue is that the Studio Display does not have the standard VESA mount, so finding a product has been difficult. It doesn't need to be anything fancy like an arm. Just a simple way to put it on the wall.
Thanks in advanced.

Hello? Anyone? Yikes....

Dual Apple Cinema Studio Displays where one uses DVI-to-ADC adapter

I have an Apple Power Mac G4 MDD dual 1.25 GHz desktop with 2GB RAM running OSX Tiger 10.4.
It is supporting two Apple Cinema Studio LCD flat panel 17" displays simultaneously.
Currently, it has three internal hard drives and one SuperDrive.
I use this computer exclusively for my home recording studio for music production.
My main computer applications are therefore, Pro Tools LE 7.4, Steinberg Cubase, and Reason 3.0.
Also, I have the full Microsoft Office Suite, but rarely use Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access.
To drive the dual displays, I am using a ATI Radeon 9000 Pro which has one ADC port and one DVI port. Therefore, I am using a DVI-ator adapter to connect one of my ADC displays to the DVI port.
Yesterday, while recording, one of the two displays developed a broad vertical band (approx 4" of black with thin red, green and blue vertical lines). The other display was fine, however.
I decided to shut down my PowerMac G4 and disconnect the DVI-adapted display and re-boot with only the display that was connected to the ADC port. The Power Mac G4 booted up fine and ran only its display on this particular monitor.
However, within 5 minutes, the screen re-developed the broad black vertical band with thin red, green and blue lines running up-and-down as before. Therefore, I shut it down and re-booted again. This time, it never booted back up. Rather, its progress indicator (clock picture moving in clockwise diagram kept on spinning around & around, but never booted-up.
What does this symptom indicate?
How can I boot-up from the SuperDrive?
Is there some special combination of hot keys to get to its setup mode (like in Windows)?
From these symptoms, is my PowerMac G4 MDD fixable?

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
It could be that your graphics card has bit the dust.
To boot to the OS install disc from the optical drive, hold the C key when powering up. This should bring you to the installer. In the window after selection of your desired language, from the menu bar, you canselect Utilities/Disk Utility. From there, run Repair Disk on the hard drive to insure the integrity of the hard drive.
My computer won't turn on
Now, if you are able to boot, but no video is displayed, then your graphics card is probably dust.
My computer displays no video
If you have a copy of the Apple Hardware Test, it would be good to run that, to verify the hardware.
If you don't have the AHT, you can download it, and burn it to CD, and run from that:

Studio 17" LCD went black

I have a 17" Studio LCD monitor connected to a Mac Mini intel via a DVI to ADC adapter. Last night when using the computer the screen suddenly went all black, as if the power was removed and I can not get the picture to return. The power indicator on the display is on and has power. Is it the monitor, the DVI to ADC adapter, something else? I've heard rumors of Leopard/display issues, but I had no issues till this. I will try to borrow a monitor, but don't know anybody with an ADC monitor. Does anybody have any solutions to what is going wrong?
Thanks for your help!

You can try resetting the SMU

!!!!!!!!! WHATS WRONG?
PowerMac G4 400 MHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Gary,
The G4 AGP graphics model is pre-ADC and its motherboard will not support a video card with a native ADC port. The ADC ports on such cards draw their power and USB feed via an extra leg on the card that fits into an extra slot at one end of the AGP slot on the computer motherboard. Your computer does not have this extra slot.
To run an ADC display off your computer, you can run a video card with a DVI output, then use a DVI to ADC adaptor such as this one:
http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD
You can use VGA to ADC adaptors, but they are much more expensive (than a DVI to ADC adaptor plus another video card), and don't give as good a result.
Cheers!

No adapter available for CRT studio display..?

Hi everybody,
just got a handmedown old crt studio display:
http://www.theapplecollection.com/design/macreleased/images/studio17_side.jpg
i thought i'd get an adapter and plug it to my imac to increase screen real estate (have been using a VGA display for some time like that)
Not so simple; the ADC connector seems like it's giving me no choice. I also have a latest macbook, also with mini-dvi output and same issue therefore.
Have been browsing forums but all i could dig was info related to the flat LCD panels and newer. Same for manufacturers, all adapters point to newer monitors.
So it's like either i keep for the looks or buy an old powermac G4/450 to suit..? Are these the only alternatives?
I imagine I'm not the very first person to ever come across this situation and maybe someone will be kind enough to offer some advice/share experience?
Cheers!

Chiz,
I own: Samsung 191T+, 19-inch LCD; Apple 20-inch LCD; Apple 23-inch LCD. There is no question (in my mind) that the Apples are sexier looking. I like the wide screen and the design. But, the price is stiff. The Samsung has a traditional 3:4 aspect ratio as opposed to the Apple 10:16. The Samsung models ending in the letter T have typically been of higher quality.
You should spend some time on the MWave website and look at the various Samsung models.
My Samsung has been connected to my iBook (via the analog (VGA)) port and to my PowerBook and PowerMac (via the digital (DVI)) port.
I won't buy ViewSonic because of bad experiences (5 blown high voltage power supplies) on their CRT models. I have no experience with Sony nor NEC.
Unless you are a gamer, you can ignore reponse time. Resolution is fixed for the screen size. LCDs have a native resolution; unlike CRTs. All manufacturers lie about contrast and brightness.
I recommend buying monitors from local stores. That way you can inspect YOUR monitor before you buy it.
I would recommend that you call Other World Computing and talk to them about video cards.

DVI to ADC Adapter question

I've got a Quicksilver 933 (2002) and want to get the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC & Mac Video Card. I have a 17" Apple Cinema Display and want to add the new 20" Apple Display for an extended desktop. The ATI card has 2 DVI outs. I will need a DVI to ADC adapter. My question is, the adapters (see below) say they are good for connecting to DVI-D out and the 9600 card is DVI-I. Does this make a difference? Does anyone out there have experience running a set-up like this? I would hate to spend $200. on this card and $80. on the adapter only to find out I couldn't use the 17" Display.
My other choice is the 64MB ATI 9000 Pro Mac edition. (This has both a DVI out and an ADC out so I would save ~$200.) I will not be doing any gameing, just extended desktop work with Photoshop, Flash and Dreamweaver. Would there be any noticeable difference between the 9000 and 9600 in these activities? As always, thanks for your input.

http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD

Hi Justin,
Can I further the questioning instead of starting my
own new thread?
No, worries, Mate!
I am in a similar situation.
I have a 2003 Quicksilver 933 with dual display
currently running.
(Using a 17" Apple Display & a 17" Sony CRT).
I eventually wish to either upgrade to a 20+ cinema
display and use the 17" Apple display as my extended
desktop, but that may still be down the road a bit.
Until then, Im looking to ditch the CRT for a 15 (or
so) LCD to dave on desktop space and make an attempt
to match the 17'' Apple Display.
Ok, on to the question.
I purchased a ATI Raedon 9800Pro Mac Edition and then
noticed it only have two DVI connections. This won't
be a problem for the eventual LCD upgrade (which has
DVI connection), but I need to purchase a DVI to ADC
convertor for the 17" Apple display.
The Radeon 9800 has DVI and VGA and S-Video output, I believe. If you want to run 2 LCD monitors, one of them will have to have a VGA input (which you can't get on Apple monitors).
1) Can I expect any loss in quality/performace due to
the conversion between DVI and ADC?
No, if the adaptor funcftions properly, there is no loss from DVI to ADC.
2) I believe there are mulitple brands out there
doing this conversion. (Apple, Geffen, etc..) Any
brand looking to be more preferred over the other?
The Geffen adaptor is presently the only one which will support the 17" ADC CRT studio monitor (as well as the ADC LCD monitors).
3) With the convertor will I still be able to power
my mac on and off with the use of the display power
button?
You can power the Mac on, however, some adaptors don't allow you to power it off.
Thanks for any help.
Justin
Cheers!

LCD Monitor with B&W G3 Tower

Hello, I am looking to replace my 17" Apple Studio Display CRT on my G3 B&W Tower with an LCD monitor. My questions are: 1) Will my computer (VGA port) accept any current LCD screens on the market, or do I have to stay with Apple's LCD monitors? 2) There are several Apple Studio LCD Displays offered on eBay. They mention DVI and ADC connections. How do I know which models will work with my B&W G3? Forgot to mention that I have upgraded the processor with a Sonnet G4 500Mhz. Thanks.

Hi,
your B&W (like mine) should be equipped with a standard VGA output on your video card, which should accept any monitor with a VGA connection.
I tried a couple of LCD (a Samsung and a Hewlett Packard) which worked flawlessly and did not give me any problems.
I am not sure whether you can connect any of the current generation Apple flat screens due to the different interface, but you surely can take advantage of any VGA equipped LCD.
cheers
