Power on a 23inch Cinema Display

Hi, My display was working fine this morning. When I went to turn it on later, the power light wouldn't come on when I pressed the power button. I took the monitor to apple this evening and the monitor worked fine. When I got home it went back to no power light. I made my 2nd monitor the main monitor and it still register's the cinema display as working, but I can't get the power light to turn on. Does anyone know what this is about. I don't understand how the power doesn't turn on, but the computer is still seeing the display? And any tips on getting the monitor to always power on when the computer starts up? Maybe that will fix this.

I have 2 23" HD displays - only 1 is detected, but its stranger than that!
My Video Card:
Chipset Model: GeForce 6800 GT
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0045
Revision ID: 0x00a1
ROM Revision: 2120
Displays:
my problem is that the second monitor is never detected. after some fiddling around, it looks like the DVI-D is probed each time a cable is disconnected, and the funny thing is, if i disconnect my working 23" from primary and insert my new 23" display to it, it works for about 5 seconds, until the video card seems to redetect the monitor; which actually this monitor isnt detected and the display goes blank...
even wierder:
i have a PC and i can boot windows up with my working 23". after the OS is booted i can unplug the good display and plug in the "non-detected" 23" and it works, at least until the monitor is probed again...
most unusual indeed.. apple doesnt know what to do.. its not the brick. im lucky to have 2 monitors of exactly the same specification and swapped the power supplies around.
not sure even where to start.. im sure apple would scratch thier heads.. funny how this happened AFTER the warranty ran out

    It may not be the same molded plug but I would think any normal 3-prong computer power cable should work.
    How about this one?

    I've always had the theory that if you put two computer power cords in a drawer they will breed and you'll end up with a lot more!   My parts drawer is always full of them.  They like to knot up by themselves as well!  Maybe that's how they breed.

  • 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.

  • Where do I find the power adapter for my Cinema Display?

    I have recently aquired an older style of an Apple Cinema display. It didn't come with a power adapter, just the DVI cable coming out the back. I have done some research and understand that power and usb and video signal come through this one cable, but I have also come to know there is supposed to be a converter power box type thing between the display and the monitor. I can find boxes similar to the one I believe I need on Ebay and other sites, but not the exact one. They vary in style somewhat. Wondering if someone could steer me in the direction of where to get one and help me understand more of what I need and how it all works? The model/serial number on the monitor is CY3041XSLFA, it's a 23" Cinema HD Display, made in 2002. - Thanks -

    If the display uses the Apple Display Connector (ADC)
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.j pg/800px-AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    you will need a DVI to ADC adapter.

  • If plugged into the power supply, should the Cinema Display A1081 standby light come on without being plugged into a mac

    I was given an old Cinema Display A1081 a few years ago. I am trying to test it and want to know if plugged into the power supply, should the standby light come on without being plugged into a mac?  I don't want to buy a DVI to mini display adapter if it isn't working.  One thing I did do was plug Monitor power in and then the USB plulg into my PC laptop and my iPhone charger USB plug into the back of the monitor.  I am able to charge my iPhone this way so I know that the power supply is working. But I can't tell if the monitor itself is workign as no ligths are on. (PS:  I am purchasing my first Mac so I am a complete newb but very proficient with PCs) Thanks so much for your help.

    Just a final question about Sleep mode - does this have any negative effects on the life or performance of the laptop? I'm so used to Shutting down the laptop each day that I worry about Sleep mode having some sort of drain on the components or something.
    There are only two practical differences between Sleep and Shut Down:
    1. Sleep will wake instantly, so you don't have to wait for startup.
    2. Sleep will drain a new, fully charged battery after several days without being woken or plugged in. If you shut down, the battery charge lasts much longer. Obviously, if you only sleep it overnight, you'll still have plenty of battery left in the morning.
    Don't sleep it more frequently than necessary, though. Frequently turning the backlight and hard drive off and on can shorten their life. Just do what's reasonable. I usually leave mine awake until I have to transport it in a bag, along with sleeping it overnight. On battery, I'll sleep it more often to preserve battery.

  • Power button on Apple Cinema Display 23"

    I just got myself a used Apple Cinema Display and I have a quick question regarding the behavior of the power button. In the display options I selected "display power button : puts the computer to sleep or wakes it" but when I press the power button I get a popup saying "are you sure you want to shut down your computer".
    The display is connected to a MacBook, running Snow Leopard. Is this a known issue I'm missing a setting somewhere?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Don't worry, it's normal. Since Panther, It give you more choice. Personally, I prefer that.

  • 23inch Cinema Display

    I'm thinking of purchasing a 23 Cinema Display, was making sure that one way or another I'd be able to view footage from my Sony Z1U HDV camera in HD through the monitor. Is it possible via FCP5? or even direct?
    Thanks,

    There is one 7500 that needs an ADC to DVI adapter, but, for the money, the 9800 is a much better card and will make everything perform better.

  • Single power brick for multiple Cinema displays?

    I've got a client with 2 30" displays and 2 23" displays (yea, and he's wanting to add more). The big issue I'm running into is that I don't want to have 6 power bricks under his desk, due to electrical draw for the conversion to DC power. Is there anything out there which would power multiple displays?

    There's no reason that one big brick would use any less power than six small bricks running the same displays.

  • Power Button on 23" Cinema Display Malfunction

    Not sure what's causing this but recently (on occaision) when I hit the power button (which is set to "turns the display on and off") and power off the display it comes back on by itself after a few moments with the "Device Removal" error message.
    Any thoughts here?? I searched help and this forum with no results so I must be doing something really stupid. Hopefully you can help me out so I don't have to bug tech support...
    Thanks, J (yank)

    I don't think that's true. I have everything plugged in through the back of it (cd/dvd drive, external harddrives, flash card reader w/ flash card, ipod, you name it.) However I can turn off the display using the power button right now without any error message or problem and I've been able to do so since I bought it over a year ago.
    The problem is erratic, mainly coming up at night for some reason. I even tried ejecting all removable drives etc. when this was happening and that didn't help. The only thing to do now when this problem comes up seems to be disconnecting it from the macbookpro...
    Any other ideas?

  • Need power schematics for a 20" cinema display a1038 (four pronged cord)

    need power schematics for a 20" cinema display a1038
    missing the power adapter for the cinema display,need to know what the leads are for the power cord.
    There is a Edison power cord that plugs into a little square box, then a 4 pronged cord plugs into that box.
    I have a 24 volt power supply with the same amps, and want to hook it up to the 4 pronged plug since I don't have the little power supply box. I don't know what each lead is.
    The easy answer is to buy the power supply. I bought the cinema display cheap and want to see if its worth buying the little box power supply that costs around 70$ on e-bay. If it works with the 24 volt power supply Ill go ahead and buy the little box.

    Hi
    If the monitor is a clear acrylic model with three feet (which it seems to be), and your computer is an original AGP Graphics/Sawtooth model, you'll need a DVI to ADC adapter.
    You can identify your exact computer model from the following link:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58418
    The ADC connector, which the older 20" Cinema Display uses, wasn't introduced until the later Gigabit Ethernet models. Unfortunately a newer graphics card with an ADC port won't work either, as the Sawtooth lacks an extra connector on the logic board required to power the monitor through the ADC cable.
    DVI to ADC adapters are fairly expensive as they include an integral power supply to drive the monitor. It may also be worth checking your graphics card supports the resolution of the 20" display (1680 by 1050). In the worst case you may need a new graphics card (with a DVI port) and the adapter.

  • 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.
