Imac monitor dead

I have a rev D 333mhz imac. It looks like somebody stabed the ati graphics cars, where it connects to the board the metal pieces are missing. The light on the front stays orange. is there any possible fix?

It sounds like the only fix is to have it repaired. Is it worth it?

  • IMac monitor has a dark vertical section

    Our iMac monitor has a dark vertical section across the left middle of the display, obscuring anything that is supposed to be displayed on a given web page or program such as photoshop. Is this a hardware problem that is beyond the scope of home repair?

    Indeed that is a problem with LCD screen. Your iMac is a 2009 model? I have seen quite a few of these burnt LCD screens on the older design of the iMacs. There have also been a few found on the 2011 design as well         (essentially) more or less the same case.
    Nice thing is that getting the screen replaced isn't too big a problem, but the installation process really requires an Authorized Tec.
    Are you still on AppleCare?

    This screen was manufactured by LG display and it was widely known that the heat from the processor and Graphics card caused the screen to overheat. The result is damaged screen seen as either a vertical stripe or dead spots.

  • HT1529 how could i connect a xbox 360 to imac monitor?

    i would like to connect my xbox to my imac monitor to use it as a display.

    In general you would unplug the monitor from the Mac Pro and then directly connect the monitor to the xBox 360 (with the correct adapter cable, depending on which version of the xBox 360 you have). However, if you don't have permission from the owner of the lab to be connecting and disconnecting cables you shouldn't be doing that. Buy a cheap 1080p TV and use your xBox 360 at home.

    Can I connect a Mac mini to iMac monitor ? To view Mac mini files

    Hi Ricemail,
    You *may* be able to do so, depending on the specific models of your iMac and Mac Mini, using a feature known as Target Display Mode. You may find the following article helpful:

  • How to share iMac monitor

    I have a G3 B/W with a CRT monitor OS 10.3.
    I also have a iMac 20” OS 10.4
    How can connect both the G3 and imac so that I share the iMac monitor with the G3 CPU? I would like to get rid of the CRT.
    If this is possible would I use only one keyboard, or would I still have to use 2 keyboards?
    Thanks
    Happy 2009

    These machines cannot share a display. No iMac—which is a completely integrated computer and display system—can be used in place of the display with another computer.
    What you can do is run a 'headless' configuration: one in which your Power Macintosh G4 does not have a display, but is otherwise operable. Using a product like Apple Remote Desktop, you can control that machine from your iMac remotely.
    There is a discussion are for ARD located here.

  • Can I use the iMac monitor to watch TV?

    Am I able to connect the cable to the iMAC monitor so I may watch TV?

    Yes but you need some third party hardware to do so, visit www.elgato.com and select a tuner for your needs.

  • Use imac monitor with ps3 or wii

    Hi all,
    I have an imac 24" and i have wii and ps3.
    Which device can I use to connect my imac monitor to these console?
    I saw on the web the Elgato Hybrid device, but isn't the right solution for ps3.
    Best regards...

    you can get the canopus ADVC110 and plug in the yellow RGB cable into it, then plug the device via firewire 400 into your computer. then open up iMovie 09 and press import video, but don't record or anything. just play.

  • Use imac monitor for laptop display?

    Just curious, I've got a new mac book pro but the screen size just isn't sufficient for some applications. My 24" imac works great for it, but since this is my work laptop I'm not supposed to put these files on my home computer (not to mention the programs). So, I want to know if there is any way to use my imac monitor as a display for my laptop.
    I know there isn't just a DVI in port on the imac, but there's got to be a way to do this... If it were a PC I'd say remote desktop.

    christie.cone, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Not directly the iMac does NOT have a video input.
    However, you might want to take a look at ScreenRecycler.

  • HT201343 can i turn off my imac monitor while airplay from it to my tv?

    You can just turn your brightness down to 0.  Only thing I have figured out so far.

  • THE IMAC MONITOR

    HELLO ALL,
    IS THERE A WAY TO TURN OFF THE IMAC MONITOR AND USE AN EXTERNAL MONITOR INSTEAD. I INITIALLY WANTED TO EXPAND THE DESKTOP, BUT FOUND OUT THAT I COULD ONLY MIRROR IT. SO, I AM EXPERIMENTING WITH THIS IDEA. IF ANYONE WOULD BE SO KIND AS TO GIVE GUIDANCE I WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATIVE.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Some iMac G4s can be hacked to extend rather than mirror display. It could permeanently damage your iMac if it goes wrong - i.e. power fails mid install.
    There are also iMac G4s out there with their screens removed. So these things are possible.

  • My iMac monitor just goes black

    I have a 2009 27inch iMac with an external Samsung monitor.
    Out of the blue, the iMAC MONITOR just goes black. Like it went to sleep or something.
    This has happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks. (luckily I can restart the computer because the external Samsung still works.
    I restart the computer and the monitor works fine again.
    Help.
    Thanks.

    Hi.
    Screen goes totally black.
    The good news is, I read around and was advised to turn off the computer and unplug it, and plug it back in and start up. That seems to have fixed it. So far, so good.
    Thanks.

  • Is the latest iMac monitor (21.5" and 27") using 8-bit color depth or 6-bit dithering?

    So far, there isn't been an official answer. Support millions of colors could be either one.

    My question is more toward the hardware on that iMac monitor rather than the software setting (32-bit).
    I notice a similar discussion few years back:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/10643776#10643776
    So seem that Apple is not using 8-bit colors yet on iMac?

  • Can I use the new in December iMac monitor with the mini mac?

    Considering buying the new iMac the Dec. issue. I wanted to know if this iMac monitor can also be used as a monitor for the new Mini Mac?

    One of those Apple 27" ones would be cheaper: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/mac_accessories/displays

  • IMac monitor (my parents), the greys are so light and faint, they are almost impossible to see.  especially in icalendar.  i've gone into system preferences and i think i've tried everything there and checked the forums.  no luck. any other suggestions?

    monitor too faint to read.  the greays on my monitor are so faint, they're almost impossible to see.  especially the numbers of the dates in ical. 
    i've gone to system preferences and contrast controls.  but no luck.  any other suggestions?  thank you

    Thank you.  I didn't know about the universal access adjustment.  All the way left is a little better, but still much fainter than on my own imac.  I'm not sure why apple uses grey typeface, but it's so faint on this imac monitor that it was difficult to find the "reply" option on this post.  Are there any other suggestions?  thank you
