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.

I have a thin blue line running down my 24" Cinema display, how can I remove it? or is it a fault.

It is a fault and the only way to fix it is to have the screen replaced.

20" Apple Cinema Display - Dim Backlight Fixed! (Sorta)

Well... as many other Apple Cinema Display owners have experienced the infamous dim backlight with the "short short long blink" - I have some wierd news to report...
Mine got fixed last night on total accident.
Last night there was a huge storm in my area and there was a lot of lighting and massive down pour of rain, stay with me honest I have a point.
My G5 was on last night while I was asleep in the other room within visual range of the display. There was a lighting strike on my property about 20' from where my office is which is on the corner of the house. The lighting hit the tree and send an obvious surge of power into my house and zapped some electronics.
Wireless router, cable modem, and thermal label printer all bit the dust - and the USB ports on the back of the ADC display. I jumped up from the sleep and saw the monitor light up out of screen saver because the house shook so hard. I ran over to the machine and tried to move the mouse and keyboard and no go since the USB ports are burned out, but the monitor was FULLY LIT UP. I have unplugged the monitor and plugged it back in multiple times, turned the machine off and let it sit and it still is working great minus the USB ports.
My hunch is this... because of the dead USB ports which are no longer drawing any power, is it possible that the USB ports are the cause of the "short short long blink"?
My screen went dead initially when it was in a deep sleep mode and NEVER came out of it until now.
So basically what I am suggesting is that someone try and unhook the USB (if it is even possible) and see if that helps with their display - if not, I guess I am just lucky and my Apple Cinema Display is just lucky to not have fully bit the dust.

Dual PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10) 20" Apple Cinema Display (Clear)

We can't answer that because that's going to depend on who you talk to. By the book, AppleCare covers defects and not accidental damage, so you could get a No answer if they determine it was not due to a defect. But realistically, sometimes you talk to someone who decides to use their ability to authorize an exception and get it fixed anyway. The only way to find out is to call AppleCare.

Using my 30 inch Cinema display to watch my Comcast Cable?

Just a thought, my monitor is much larger than my tv. Is there such a way to hook my cinema display into my comcast cable/dvr box?
Thanks,
Christine

Call Gefen and see if they have that solution. If they don't, then I doubt one exists.

ATI Radeon X800 XT, 30" Cinema Display, Leopard - combination fixed?

Although I read about problems with this combination and the 30" Cinema Display - I went ahead and upgraded to Leopard. I did see some "pink flashes", until after updating to 10.5.4. Now everything seems fine and I don't see ANY problems. I did not install the ATI Displays software.

"Dual-Link" DVI refers to the number of data pathways -- It has nothing to do with dual displays.
A Dual-Link connector has two sets of the three main data signals, to keep the data clock speed down to a reasonable speed and still get all the data transmitted to paint a screen wider than 1920 wide. The entire pin grid array must be populated with pins.
A Single-Link connector has one set of the three main data signals, and can service a display up to 1920 wide. It may have the center columns of the pin-grid de-populated to save money, or maybe not.

Cinema display goes off when USB cable plugged in

WhenI plug my USB/firewire cable into the computer the screen goes black.
I have used this display for years and never had any problems.
The computer is about a year old but both have worked together since they first met!
Any ideas?
I see similar questions online but no reponse from Apple??!!??

What kind of computer is it connected to? Is there anything else connectted to usb? If so try disconnecting them.
Try smc reset.

How I fixed broken Home Share under iTunes in Windows

Every once in a while my "Airplay" icon disapears under Windows iTunes. I have no clue why but it happens but it does. My guess is too many ios devices connecting and syncing at once somehow corrupts a config file.
Even after a reboot its still gone. I know my network is fine as all my other iOS devices such as my iphone and my kids can still select out 2 Apple Tvs to Airplay to,
Anyways, my fix is this:
close iTunes
DELETE ALL files and folders in this folder: C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes\*.*
restart iTunes and your Airplay shoulb be back.
my library and playlists are all fine

Hopefully you have posted this info in the iTunes for Windows forums. I am sure it can help your Windows buddies more then the Mac crowd.

IPhone SDK b3: How I fixed broken (blank) Research Assistant

Hello, I wanted to give this thread a new title as the original thread didn't indicate "iPhone SDK" in the title, and was in reference specifically to b2. The original thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6935634#6935634
Here are my findings. Research Assistant was working great for me until I upgraded my original (b1) iPhone SDK directly to b3, skipping b2 entirely. In reading posts in the aforementioned thread, this problem seems to occur when going from b1 -> b2, and I can surmise probably also from b1 -> b2 -> b3.
The comments in the aforementioned thread were useful in helping me reach a fixed state, for which I conclude a clean re-installation of b3 was necessary. Just doing steps 3) through 6), inclusive, _did not fix my problem._
1) Uninstall iPhone b3 SDK
sudo /developer/Libraray/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
2) Reboot. Reinstall iPhone b3 SDK. Reboot.
3) Launch Xcode. "Go to Xcode : Preferences... : Documentation"
4) Click + to add the following entries (you might already see a bunch of grayed-out entires):
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Documentation/DocSets
/Developer/Documentation/DocSets
/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets
5) Exit and relaunch Xcode
6) Go to "Project : Edit Project Settings" and click on "Rebuild Code Sense Index".
After doing all of this, my Research Assistant now works. I wanted to share this with the community in hopes that others learning the iPhone SDK aren't dissuaded by this issue, which can cause a very substantial barrier to learning its APIs quickly.
-Jeff Ishaq

Thanks for all the tips. Unfortunately for me it still doesn't work
After trying for a day I give up ... bulky docs pane here I come.
Might be because I am using standard Xcode Dev Tools and not the iPhone SDK version of it, but I am still hoping Apple will release a fix for this annoying bug.

How to match the Pantone colors to the Cinema Display...

Hi, I need to match the pantone colors to my cinema display, how to make it...could anyone help.
Thanks!

Thanks for your response--
I looked at this adapter:
http://www.mycableshop.com/sku/ADCHD1506.htm
However, it says this:
"The adapter cable allows any VGA monitors to be connected to the new dual-display G4 system with ADC video interface. The VGA monitor can be used as the primary display, or as a second display on G4 that supports dual-monitor support. Compatible with GeForce 4 MX, GeForce 4 Ti, Radeon 7500, and Radeon 9000 Pro."
My graphics card is a ATI Rage 128 Pro. Will it not work, then?
What is the possibility of adapting the Cinema Display from DVI to ADC?
Thanks!

DVI Adapter for LED Cinema Display Mini DisplayPort?

Is there an adapter for use with the new LED Cinema display port? I expect the new Mini's to switch to the Mini DisplayPort, if there is a new Mini, but in the meantime ...
Now that everything is going black, glass and aluminum, when is Apple going to update:
1) Keyboards to black keys?
2) Mouse to black and/or aluminum?
3) Mini, AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule to black & aluminum?
4) Power Adapters, Airport Express, cables, etc. to black and/or aluminum?
Finally a unified product line/look!

Actually after thinking about it, the immediate solution is likely a short DVI extension cord combined with the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. I would prefer a small Apple adapter to ship with the display however, much in the same way as the DB-15 adapter shipped with the VGA version of the old LCD Studio Display, or at least make one for sale. Guess Apple is leaving this up to third parties as usual.
The Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter would not work in this case as it is a male (Mini DisplayPort) to female (DVI) adapter. The new 24" Cinema Display has a non-removable cable ending in a male (Mini DisplayPort). As a male plug will not connect to a male plug it will not work.
I am sure soon enough various third-parties like Gefen, Griffin, and Belkin will come up with suitable adapters which do have the right genders. It is somewhat disappointing Apple have not done this themselves as I am sure plenty of Mac Pro owners are also salivating over this new display.
Arguably, Apple are repeating the same mistake they made with the ACD (Apple Cinema Display) connector and making it much harder and more expensive to use their displays with non Apple computers. That is they should have stuck with a standard DisplayPort connector rather than the esoteric Mini DisplayPort.
I equally hope someone comes up with Mini DisplayPort to (big) DisplayPort adapters as well.
On a totally different topic, I was also surprised and disappointed Apple did not switch to 16:9 displays for these new products (they are all still 16:10). The rest of the industry has already started switching to 16:9 displays and the clear trend is that 16:10 is on its way out. Still, the black border of these Apple displays does very conveniently hide the blank pixels (when playing a 16:9 video).

PS3 slim on a 2001 Cinema Display?

Hi,
I was wondering..... can you connect a new PS3 to an 2001 cinema display via HDMI to VGI cable?
I don't want to go out and buy a random cable if the monitor can't handle it. If not, is there something else I can use?
Thanks,
Alex

Most likely it won't work. Not sure I understand your second question, "is there something else I can use?" You mean like a TV?

Cinema Display Power Button Not Functional

The power button on my cinema display does nothing when pressed. The other button on the display (display preferences button) does work as expected. I have confirmed that the 'Disable power button' is not selected in the display settings panel.
The button glows brighter when I press it, but nothing else happens.
I would like to be able to start up and shut down my computer with this button since my bluetooth keyboard cannot do it, and I keep my laptop shut when it is connected to the external display.
I was just given this display, so I do not know if has ever worked.
Any ideas?

Hi Ron,
Possibly a daft question but do have either of the Cinema Display's USB or firewire cables plugged into your G4 as well as the DVI connection? This may sound obvious but I couldn't get the buttons on my 20" ACD to work until I plugged the USB connection into my Macbook.

How can i diplay cable hdtv on my 23inch cinema display

i have a 23inch cinema display and have heard i can watch cable hdtv on it... any ideas on how to make this work? My cable box has a fire wire out put which my computer is recognizing... so where do i go from there?

What do you mean your computer is recognizing the output?
If your computer recognizes the output from the cable box on the FireWire port then an app that can display video from the FireWire port should work like QuickTime, BTV, Final Cut, etc.
