Replacing the LCD panel in my 23" Apply Cinema monitor (A1082)

Hi,
I have a 23" cinema screen (A1082) which has a cracked LCD panel. I've order a replacement LCD panel but how do I take my existing monitor apart in order to change the LCD panel out? There doesn't appear to be any screws to dismantle the screen...... thanks

1) Using a thin tool like a screwdiver, pry off the side plastic strips from the top down. Older units are harder as the glue is applied more generously. It helps if you warm it first, lets say with a blowdryer.
2) It is easier if you remove the stand hinge pins using a 6mm allen wrench. You can probably get away skipping this step if you don't mind more work later.
3) With a small phillips head, remove the side retainer brackets.
4) At the bottom where the clamshell joins, pull a small tab which slides a hooked retainer releasing the clamshell. Older units may have one on each end, newer units have one at only one end.
5) Pop apart the clamshell and slide the guts out.
Good luck finding replacement parts for these. Mine has a logic board that died in a power failure and I am stuck with finding a broken display and buying it for the working parts. Unfortunately Apple does not sell the parts to end users.

  • Hi, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro 13" and I accidentally cracked the outer screen of my mac book, however the LCD panel is fine and works well. Please advise what to do

    Hi, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro 13" and I accidentally cracked the outer screen of my mac book, however the LCD panel is fine and works well. Please advise what to do. I live in India and I have gone to authorised Apple technicians and they infomed me that I will have to replace the LCD panel as well even though it is not cracked, is this really true or can I just change the outer shell? Also they say that they cannot do it in India... can I do it myself at home?

    Since it is 3 years old find a local repair shop that can replace the glass Only. you may have to send it out to a Non Local shop for that but there are some that specialize in doiing that on Mac notebooks.
    Apple will ony replace the complete screen enclosure with all normal parts included, LCD, Camera, Aluminum housing and glass as one unit. Which is very expensive. Or you could just use it as a desktop system with external monitor and buy a new notebook.

  • Display burn in - Apple does not want to replace the LCD

    Recently my iMac 24” LCD display began to have “screen burn ins“ or image persistence on the LCD. I have done extensive online research about the issue, I tried setting my screensaver to pure white and running the apple screensaver to resolve the issue. I did not use my computer any more extensively than any of my other macs, so the image burn in came as a surprise to me this early in the Mac’s life span. I understand that the issue exists, and would not surprise me if my computer was several years old and it was never turned off. I will have to argue that the “screen burn in” happened too early for my iMac.
    I took my iMac to an Apple store and waited to speak with a Genius and have a diagnosis. After the Genius ran his diagnosis he said that I am out of warranty, however he agreed with me that it was too early for something like this to happen. He proposed that my LCD screen would be replaced, and said that he would give me a break and make a “one time warranty exception and not charge me for the new LCD and replacement based on the circumstance.” The genius placed an order for an LCD panel for my iMac, printed out the work order and shook my hand, I was extremely grateful thanked the Genius for making such an exception.
    After leaving my iMac in the store for repairs for 5 days, with excitement and anticipation I picked up my iMac which was claimed to be “fixed”. I got home opened up the box and plugged in the iMac and the first thing that I noticed was a dead pixel that I recognized from the old LCD, what are the odds of the new display having a dead pixel in the exact same spot? I called back to the apple store with my repair number at hand and confirmed that my LCD was never replaced.
    I thought to myself, maybe they fixed it, but just to be safe I used the computer until I noticed nothing changed the “burn in issue” is still here. So I created a background image in photoshop to purposely leave on for an hour as proof of the problem. I called back to the apple store early in the morning and talked with the technical center, the girl on the phone said “I remember your mac” I thought we had it fixed. I asked to make sure that the LCD that was ordered for the sole purpose of fixing the burn in issue which I had was still at the store, it was confirmed that it was.
    I came by the apple store and a different Genius looked at my computer, saw the excessive burn in. He ran the “Flurry” Screen saver, which helped remove the current burn in but was still not fully removed. He then told me that they would not replace the LCD, and that I should set my screen saver to every 5 minutes and lower the brightness to reduce the load on the screen. I argued that even if I can get rid of the problem after running the screensaver for at least an hour, the burn in just keeps coming back, and fast too.
    I came home setup the screensaver settings and began using my machine, not using it for even more than an hour I saw the burn ins from the store and some new ones that came from my doc, and finder window and shadow lines distorting the entire screen, almost making it look like mud lines.
    I took a few pictures with a DSL camera at the highest resolution, but I am not sure if this shows enough to really show:
    Doc burned in:
    #1 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1477936/apple/DSC_0751.jpg (need to make it 100% to see)
    #2 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1477936/apple/DSC_0754.jpg (need to make it 100% to see)
    Does any one know what I should do now?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I think that regardless that this was a different Genius, the Apple Store has made a commitment to you to repair the iMac out of warranty and should honor this commitment. I would go back to the Apple Store and speak directly to the Store Manager with your original paperwork in hand for the repair that was not completed.
    Should you not receive satisfaction from the Store Manager then I would call Apple Care and immediately ask to have your call escalated to a Customer Care representative. Explain the issue to the rep and ask for their assistance in receiving the repair commitment originally made to you by the Apple Store.
    Have all necessary paperwork for the committed repair at hand during your phone conversation. Take notes. Get the name and the position of each person to whom you speak. Speak firmly but politely. Do not get angry or make any threats. The minute you mention a lawyer or any other such threat the conversation will be over and Apple will fall back on the fact the Mac is out of warranty and any opportunity of getting a repair will likely be gone.

  • Issue in Customizing the Logon Page and Replacing the Logon Panel Image

    I have facing problem in Customizing the Logon Page and Replacing the Logon Panel Image in Hyperion Workspace 11.1.2.1. I have tried multiple time.
    First Replacing the Logon Panel Image. I have following the steps given in admin guide of EPM workspace on page 25 and they are as follow
    To replace the image that is displayed on the logon panel:
    1 Create an image file named logon_panel.gif with dimensions that match previous image.
    2 Rename the installed version of logon_panel.gif to logon_panel.gif.original in
    %EPM_ORACLE_HOME% /common/epmstatic/bpmui/themes/<do for each
    theme>/images_global. Move the logon_panel.gif file that you created in step 1 to this
    directory.
    3 Clear your browser cache.
    Note: You do not need to restart the Hyperion Foundation Services - Manager Server.
    But still I am getting the same default image on log in page.
    The other problem I am facing is Customizing the Logon Page.
    I am following the steps given in admin guide of EPM workspace on page 17 and they are as follow:
    To customize the logon page:
    1 Follow instructions in the topic Extract a file in the Workspace Web Application.
    2 Backup file <temp directory>/war/WEB-INF/lib/bpmui.jar.
    3 Extract the contents of <temp directory>/war/WEB-INF/lib/bpmui.jar to <temp
    directory>/bpmui_jar/.. (*)
    4 Backup file <temp directory>/bpmui_jar/WEB-INF/classes/com/hyperion/bpm/
    Resources_en.properties.
    5 Edit file <temp directory>/bpmui_jar/WEB-INF/classes/com/hyperion/bpm/
    Resources_en.properties.
    6 Search for the property bpm.logonCopyright.
    Customizing the Logon Page 17
    7 Modify the text to the right of the equal sign. Use \n to get a new line.
    8 Save your changes.
    9 Repeat step step 1 through step step 8 for all the other Resources_xx.properties files for other
    locales.
    10 Jar the contents of <temp directory>/bpmui_jar/ to <temp directory>/war/WEBINF/
    lib/bpmui.jar.
    11 Continue with the topic, Re-package a file inside the Workspace Web Application.
    For the first part I am following
    Extract a file in the Workspace Web Application
    ä To extract files in Workspace Web Application:
    1 Stop the service for Hyperion Foundation Services - Managed Server.
    2 Backup file <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/products/Foundation/workspace/
    InstallableApps/workspace.ear.
    16 Administration Tools and Tasks
    3 Using an unarchiving utility, extract the contents of <EPM_ORACLE_HOME>/products/
    Foundation/workspace/InstallableApps/workspace.ear into a <temp
    directory>.
    4 Create <temp directory>/war.
    5 Extract the contents of <temp directory>/workspace.war into <temp directory>/
    war.
    6 Update the file you are patching under <temp directory>/war. as direct in it.
    But I am not able to find file bpmui.jar in step 3 of above one (*). I have marked for your connivance.
    I am able to see these file in that directory
    dynamichelp.jar
    workspace.jar.
    Can anyone provide help on this. Platform I am using is LINUX

  • Can I replace the LCD with an LED on Early 2009 24" model?

    I have an old 2009 (okay, so not that old) iMac and the LCD has some serious burn-in and it's to the point where I can't use the computer without it hurting my eyes. I'm looking to replace the screen, but the computer still works great and I don't want to have to do this again in four to five years. Any chance I can take an LED display from a 24" Cinema Display and put it in the iMac, or are the connections different?

    Personally I would use a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter, DVI cable and a $130 DVI monitor, before shelling out for a $500 to $600 for a replacement panel. Or at least until your 100% sure, that there is nothing wrong with the logicboard or graphic's chip.
    Optionally a Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable would be an even cheaper setup, if you already have an HDMI TV.
    Addtitionally I would probably just replace the iMac with another iMac or Mac Mini, because it is real hard to justify spending anything at all on a 5 year old system.

  • Is it possible to replace the back panel on an iPad Mini 2?

    My girlfriend has managed to dent the back panel of her iPad Mini 2 and I was wondering if it is possible to get a panel replacement or not?

    If you take it into an authorized repair place the fee will be $219.
    If you take it to a non-authorized repair place it may be cheaper but doing so will void your warranty
    If you have apple care plus then the replacement fee will be $49 (last I knew) under the 'two instances of accidental damage replacement)
    Call your local Apple store to be sure, but last I knew they don't replace parts as much as that fee is to exchange your damaged device for a replacement, so if you do it, be sure to back up your device before you take it in

  • Side buttons on the lcd panel

    Just wondering if the 3 buttons on the side panel are in line with the "circle" cut out or are they not aligned. meaning the hard plastic cover is not exactly aligned with the inner circle that your finger's suppose to press or touch.

    darn...the touch buttons on the side of my panel aren't aligned with the outer "cut out" shape of the transparent cover, or watever u call that, the acryllic?

  • Anybody have problems restoring Iphone 4 for verizon after replacing the LCD

    anybody have problems restoring Iphone 4 for verizon after replacing the LCD

    i didnt replace the screen on my verizon iphone, but i have had several problems in the past with restoring, however they are always easily solved for me by plugging into another computer and restoring from there once its restored off that computer you can then plug back into your computer and put your info back on.
    also remember to copy the ipsw from your iphone software updates folder onto a flash drive and onto the computer you are using to update to save yourself form downloading the ipsw on that computer (if it is not already on that computer). then just do an option restore by holding option key when you hit restore and select the ipsw you want to restore to.
    hope this helps

  • Macbook a1181 display blanks out replaced the lcd inverter still blanking out

    Replaced inverter still blanking out.

    OK--so this is an original MBP. You are in the late 2008-early 2009 section of the forum, so I am going to request that your post be relocated to the original MBP section.
    Have you tried an external display? If you get good graphics on an external, it will be further conformation that the graphics chip is OK.
    I am puzzled as to why the original display worked, but two separate replacements did not. I have heard of the brightness indicator getting stuck all the way to the left, so that the display remains black. Can you see the desktop at all by shining a bright light through the apple? If so, maybe you could go to System preferences>Desktop and see if the slider is stuck, and if so, move it to the right.
    Good luck!

  • HT5866 my screen on my 5C have crack n I need to replace the lcd screen with digitizer is this possible?

    I need to replace my crack 5C screen, any help

    If you are in the US, some Apple stores have the ability to replace a screen, some do not. If they can, the cost is only $149. If they cannot, then without Apple Care + you would need to purchase an out of warranty replacement at a cost of $269. If you do have Apple Care +. you can make 2 total exchanges over the 2 year life of Apple Care + with a $69 deductible.
