White 'Bands' on my Apple 30" Cinema display

The last couple of days, i've returned home, turned on my monitor and ive had a really bright screen with think white bands, of different shades on my screen.
The monitor would have been switched off, but still plugged into my pc (running) and still be plugged into the mains.
The display is connected to a windows pc using an 8800 card.
I've tried using both dvi outputs to another screen and they both work fine, but both show a fault with the cinema display.
I've also plugged the cinema display into another pc with dvi input, and the display is still faulty.
i've attacthed some photos if anyone has any ideas?
Many thanks.

Well, great.
The repair centre can't replicate the problem so far, and they won't take the photos as evidence. So it looks like i'll be getting it back not-fixed.
They did suggest that it could be an issue that if i've plugged in anything into the usb sockets, that the problem could lie there, as they're not meant for PC's only Mac's. Is that true?
TIA.

  • Older Apple HD Cinema Display is detected but no picture

    Forgive me, as I know this is an often-asked question but I have searched and can't find a response that fixes the issue.
    Yet.
    So I have a Mac Pro (circa 2008) that works fine. The Apple Cinema Display is even older from about 2004 (I think).
    Everything was working fine and I was video editing and Photopshopping to my hearts content.
    I had noticed that recently the display would not come back from sleep without rebooting the computer.
    So that might have been an early clue.
    Then this morning I came home from taking the kids to school and the Mac Pro fan was running loud and no image on screen.
    I rebooted the computer. This time the monitor displayed black and white vertical lines.
    "Oh joy," thought I.
    I rebooted again.
    This time nothing but the heart of darkness.
    Nothing.
    I reseated the video card (as that has been a culprit in the past) and rebooted. Still no image. Did all the PRAM, unplugging the computer, waiting a minute plugging back in, plus all the other keyboard tricks one reads about. Still no joy.
    I then tried the monitor on my MacBook Pro to see if it was a computer issue or monitor issue. No image from the MacBook Pro either.
    The Macbook Pro did detect the display though and showed it along side theMacbook Pro screen is the Display Prefences.
    I also ran the MacBook Pro in Traget Mode to the laptop so i could run diagnostic checks and repairs uisng Apple Utilities and Disk Warrior. No problems were detected on the Mac Pro (tower).
    I then connected a Samsung monitor (that the kids watch Netflix on) and that worked fine on both the laptop and the Mac Pro tower.
    So I have isolated the cause to the Apple HD Cinema Display. The video card and other hardware tested out fine.
    Any thoughts on a fix or what the issue might be?. I can get by with Samsung as I am on deadline - but would rather have my trusty Apple Cinema screen back.
    Many thanks.
    And good karma to all who give it a head scratch.

    Yeah I use my screen saver more often now and yes it's the white windows and desktop icons that ghost the most not horrible and my warrant is a few years past. The genius is wrong to accuse you that's just plain silly. The first apple 30 inch I bought had green lines and after a few trips to the store they sent it off to be repaired but in the end I think I got a different monitor back. Three and a half years later this started to happen. It's like short term burn and it's pretty subtle. I'm an audio guy so if I were a graphics person and this was my main rig I would be more upset. I just hope it does not continue to get worse. I have an older 22 inch with the clear plastic and it does not have the issue. It only starts to do it after it's been n for few hours.
    Good to know I'm not the only one, thanks for posting.

  • Apple HD Cinema Display not working

    Hello everyone, I bought a used Apple HD Cinema Display a few months ago and I have been using it with no problems in Leopard with my white macbook (late 2007). I have recently installed XP using bootcamp (the display was not connected at the time of install) and now I am unable to get the display to work in XP. All I get is a black screen. Can anyone help me with this please? Are there any drivers that I may need to install in XP to allow it to work?
    Thanks!

  • HT2810 Apple HD Cinema Display will not come back on after brief power cut.

    My Apple HD cinema display won't come back after a brief power cut.
    There is the little white power light on the front which pulses on three times and then extinguishes, repeatedly.
    The Mac itself seems to power up although it's hard to tell if it's bboting properly, as I cannot see anything on the screen.
    There is power going to both units so I have no idea what is happening.

    This sounds like a very common problem.  If the blinks are one short, one longer, one short..... long pause... repeat.... start searching this forum.   There are also Youtube videos on solving it.  If this is the problem, the solution is easy.  You block both center pins on the 10 pin power connector.   Its crazy but it works.

    I just used a very thin strip of paper folded in half and slipped into the display's connector so it covers ONLY the two center contacts, then slip it into the power module very carefully.  Make sure there is some slack in the paper as otherwise it will tear and the contact will still be made.  If it doesn't work at first, try again as the paper made have torn in process.   It would be better to use something stonger like a very thin strip of mylar.   Or you can do what the video shows, but I didn't try that exactly.

  • Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant.  I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use.  Does anyone have a solution?

    Under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Boot Camp, my 27 inch Apple LED Cinema Display checks out as a Generic PnP Monitor and is shown as NOT HDCP compliant.  I haven't been able to find any kind of an .inf file to use.  Does anyone have a solution?  Or is Apple's implementation of HDCP (if it's there) incomplete?

    I am having this same issue. Im not sure if this is the cause but I think this is keeping PowerDVD Ultra 11 from playing back Bluray under Windows 7 / Bootcamp

  • How to Connect Early 2011 MBP 13" to Apple 20" Cinema Display at 1680x1050?

    My early 2011 MacBookPro will only display 1280x800 on an external Apple 20" Cinema Display. The MBP's specs say that it will support dual displays and video mirroring simultaneously at full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 2560x1600 on an external display. The 20" Cinema Display specs indicates that it supports an optimum resolution of 1680x1050. The 20" display is connected to the MBP through it's Thunderbolt port using an Apple Mini Display Port to DVI connector. No luck.
    I've tried using the latest version of SwitchResX set to 1680x1050. It says it is configured to 1680x1050 but the display does not respond.
    Anyone had success setting up this combination of MPB and Cinema Display at the max resolution of 1680x1050?

    To clarify. The MacBook Pro displays 1280x800 and the Apple Cinema Display mirrors it at 1280x800. I cannot get the ACD to display at it's max capable resolution of 1680x1050.
    The MPB has 16GB ram so 512 SDRAM is available to the Intel HD Graphics 3000 chipset.

    The FireWire cable is just for the FireWire ports on the display.  The display will run without it.

  • Mini DisplayPort adapter for 23" Apple HD Cinema Display?

    hello all,
    I'm sure this has been asked and answered here, but I can't find it! (grrr...)
    I've got an 23" Apple HD Cinema display and a new iMac. The iMac has a "mini DisplayPort". Now, the Cinema Display has a 3 x 10-pin (not 3 x 8) DVI connector. The WIKI thing about DVI calls it a "DVI M1-DA (Dual link + USB)".
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalVisualInterface
    For the life of me, I can't find an Apple (or other) adapter with the 10-pin connector to attach to the iMac?
    many thanks,
    b myers

    If it's the old, plastic cased, 23" display, it may use ADC (Apple Display Connector).
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    In that case, you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

  • VMware Fusion and Apple LED Cinema Display

    I have a 2008 MBP and a 27" Apple LED Cinema Display. My OS is 10.7.2.
    I am running Windows 7 with the latest updates in VMWare Fusion 4.1.1. I have several issues.
    1) When I go to chose my monitor it say Apple LED Cinema Display but "Generic Non-PnP Monitor." I downloaded and installed the boot camp drivers as I understood those contained the drivers for the monitor, but that didn't seem to help. Do I need to have the Boot Camp drivers?
    2) When I try to access the Boot Camp Control panel in Windows 7 in Fusion I get "An error occured while tyring to access the startup disk settings. You may not have privileges to change the startup disk." My guess is this is because the Boot Camp drivers are only needed if you actualy run Boot Camp.
    3) In Windows I cannot choose the native resolution of the Apple display (2560 x 1440).
    4) The resolution ia 1277 x 1234. That is weird.
    5) If I minimze the Fusion window and then immediately open it, it looks fine. But if I wait for awhile and open it, the window will be black until I click inside of it.
    Something is wrong, Any help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
    Bryan

    you have to separate out what is Fusion and what is Windows native.
    Even doing updates to Windows sometimes should not or cannot be done properly in VM.
    And there is no way to change the default boot drive - a VM doesn't have access and that is the host OS's job, not the guest's.
    Install the latest AMD driver for mobility - and dont' use the "auto detect" - that is not going to work on Apple hardware.
    You dont' run Boot Camp. But the Apple drivers and serives needed for hardware support, yes, they aren't running or loaded.

  • VGA Windows laptop to Apple LED Cinema Display...?

    Attaching VGA Windows laptop to Apple LED Cinema Display...? Is this possible? I have a personal MBP that'd work fine, but need to connect a work laptop as well. Any insight would be great. Thanks!

    As mentioned, the biggest issue is that the VGA signal is analog, and the Apple Cinema Displays only accept digital signals. Does your laptop have any other videop output ports? A DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort would be the easiest, of course, but if you have an HDMI connection, you could get something like the Atlona HDMI to Mini DisplayPort Converter and Scaler. Not exactly cheap at $170, but if you really need it, and you have the port, maybe it is a solution for you. The only issue, it seems, is you would be limited to 1920x1080 resolution.

  • What connector is on the Apple 20" Cinema Display, DVI-I or DVI-D?

    Sorry if this is a noob question, i just have never bothered to clarify this fact before. I have an Apple 20in Cinema display. Is the DVI connector on it a DVI-I or DVI-D type. I'm not sure what the difference is but there is obviously one so i figured i'd ask.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi 30inch-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    To extend the cable on the ACD, a cable such as that which Gefen offers will serve the purpose. At issue with the 30", is the dual link requirement. As well, with all ACD's, the USB connection is important. The firewire is for convenience, more than anything, but is included in the cable set from Gefen.
    The booster that is included, is important to keep signal strength, and maintain picture clarity over the distance of the cable.
    With distances of less than 10', one might get by with a quality dual link DVI-D (or DVI-I) connected cable, though the issue of signal strength may be a performance limiting factor. The picture quality and monitor performance from a passive (non-boosted) cable, will be determined by the strength, or weakness of the graphics card.
