Will a wet dropped 20 inch Cinema display work?

I have a Cube and 2 ower Mac G3s I had been eyeing a display for ages at a local junk store Hard Off in Japan 'Do not laugh ! in the past years since the Earthquake the Jaanese around Sendai have been throwing out broken things caused by the 2011 Eartquake I have picked u some rubbish and good stuff I like to take apart Macs and try to fix or mod them.
Today I came across 2 Aple Keyboards a Blue tooth Mouse and OBS 20inch Cinema display ! wow ! it had been raining hard for 3 days they were dumped at the Tohoku University QawaOochi Campus ,famous for Fibre Optics and now Gigabyte internet spead research They are famous for getting top funding so they renew Computers often and just dump the unwanted they can not sell or give them away !
I took it to work and I was on my bike ,when I got off  it droped on the ground and the plastic corner cracked but I was more worried about the water inside.
I dismantled it and found water inside the clear plastic case and the case that looks Aliminium but it is lastic the screws are tough to unwind and was well closed
sorry image to large so can not insert. It is possible water seaped into the front of monitor ot not the back.
I may have broken cracked some inner circit board by dropping the water can dry as long as I give time in a warm dry place before replacing the back lastic but I dare not venture further because of foil and complex metal casing inside,there is a mesh cover and inside a mother board I am thinking when the weather hanges to put it outside in the sunshine and the air in autumn is very dry here on clear days I need to warm it and a breeze at the same time.
These things were 3,999 USD when new and now are just 100 USD on  eBay if it does not work I will take apart and sell the parts.
I left the 2 Keyboards alone , once water gets in they are difficult to dry and will short.

  • I have an old 23 inch cinema display will it be compadible with the new retina MacBook pro?

    So I have an old 23 inch cinema display from 2006 and it's been in our basement for a few years and I'm going to buy the new MacBook pro with retina display I'm wondering if these 2 products will be compatible so I could work at my desk the display Powers up fine I just need to know if they're compatible ?

    Assuming your 23" Cinema Display has a DVI connector or a built-in DVI cable, all you'll need will be a mini-displayport-to-single-link-DVI adapter or cable, and the display should work well.

  • Can my G5 support upgrade to the 30-inch Cinema Display?

    I'm a book designer working in Adobe's Creative Suite and would LOVE to purchase a 30-inch Cinema Display, especially now that Apple has dropped the price. My G5 is 3 years old and currently connected to a 5-year-old 22-inch Apple cinema display. If I were able to upgrade to the 30-inch display what would I need in addition, other than the NVIDIA GForce 6800 Ultra Graphics Card (which I'm having difficulty finding online)?

    I recently went through this, and ended up having to return the 30" for 2 23".
    You have to determine whether you have a PCI bay for graphics and other cards( there are many PCI graphics cards that will run the 30") or the older ADP configuration (for which there is one Radeon card, which is currently unavailable, and according to ATI's own customer service, not certain if they are actually in production!).
    If you've got PCI bays, you're in business. But I have ADP and my 30 inch was running at 1024x768 resolution and it was a nightmare. Fortunately, the store swapped out for two smaller ones, which run fine with my current card.
    It took me over a month to find this out, so I hope you can save some aggravation! Bob Krist

  • Is it possible to attach Samsung Monitor to the 27 inch Cinema Display?

    Hello,
    I have an Apple 27 inch Cinema Display and I also have a Samsung 27 inch monitor.
    I would like to know if it's possible to create a dual monitor setup by connecting the Samsung monitor (dvi or hdmi) with an adapter to the Cinema Display's mini display port on the back?
    Does anyone know if this is possible? Or does it only work with another Cinema Display?
    I'd appreciate any help received.
    Thanks,

    Is it possible to connect the PC to the Samsung monitor via Dual link DVI and to the Apple Cinema Display via mini display port and work as a dual monitor setup?
    That should work if the PC has both DisplayPort and dual-link DVI (or two DisplayPorts).
    I'm thinking the best solution for MacBook Air is to purchase a Thundebolt display and hook that up to the Cinema Display and I think then I would have a dual screen setup at full resolution.
    That will work if you connect a Thunderbolt disk drive (with two Thunderbolt ports) between the Thunderbolt display and the Mini DisplayPort display.
    But currently I don't think there is a way to connect a PC to a Thunderbolt Display.
    Not unless the PC has Thunderbolt.

  • Random screen blackout 2009 24 inch Cinema Display... HELP.

    Random screen blackouts with 24 inch Cinema Display (purchased 2009). Never used with anything but same Macbook Pro (2009). No hardware changes on MBP. Just started June 6, 2012. Super annoying. Anyone else having this issue? Recommendations?

    Hello, Ertjie.
    The link titled Download the 24-inch LED Cinema Display Update from the kb/TS4045 article worked for me when I tried it today.  Click the "Download" link I post here or try the one in the kb article again.  Perhaps it will work for you now?
    However, I note that the kb article expressly states that this firmware update: 
    ...is only intended for use with and will only install on the Apple 24-inch LED Cinema Display while the display is connected to a Thunderbolt-enabled Mac. (EZ Jim emphasis added)
    If your Mac is really using Mac OS X (10.6.8)  as shown in your initial topic posting, your Mac may not be Thunderbolt-enabled.   If so, contact Apple or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for help.

  • Can i use Apple 2005 20-inche cinema display on Mac pro ?

    can i use Apple 2005 20-inche cinema display on Mac pro ?

    If the display has a DVI connector it will plug into the Mac Pro directly.  If it uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)
    <http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/AppleDisplayConnector.jpg>
    you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

  • 27 inch cinema display windows 7 problems....

    my 27 inch cinema display will only display a resolution of 1920x1200 on my bootcamp partion (3.2) of my 2009 macbook pro with a 9600M GT graphics card?
    it displays the full resolution on the lion partition..
    i have installed the trackpad and the display update but still no luck?

    Did you install the latest driver from Nvidia though? sounds like you need to.

  • 20 Inch Cinema Display Went Black

    i just rebooted my mac mini that is connected to a 20 inch Cinema Display and the monitor never came back to life. The screen is totally black and the firewire, USB and video cables are plugged into the computer fine. When I look at the computer on Remote Desktop from my laptop i can see that the mac mini is fine. i can also see that when i hit the on/off button on the display that it prompts the shutdown/restart popup on the mac mini so it is communicating with the mac mini. i have also plugged the display into my PB and again I get the shutdown popup when i hit the display's on/off button. is there anything to do to bring it back to life or is it dead? its not even a year old.

    Hey,
    Same problem happening here, You described it exactly. Even the magenta box. Mine also happens most in the open windows, not when the desktop. I am trying to figure out when exactly it is happening. The third item I have issues with is that blocks of data are 'stuck' in a genie expansion like motion so it is blurred and dot displaying in that 3x3 inch square section. Could have something to do with refreshing? Sometimes I notice the window will fix if I manually resize the window.
    Hope this helps any one who is trying to help us out.

  • Black band on my 30 inch cinema display. Any known causes?

    Hey everyone,
    My 30 inch cinema display is doing some wierd things which I havent encountered before.
    If you can see the image, towards the LEFT SIDE CENTRE, there are these BLACK BANDS.
    these start to appear after about 5-15 mins after the display is turned on. although they dont show up on bright backgrounds.
    If I let to monitor cool down for 10 mins and start it up again they are gone and they start appearing again in about a min or two,
    Has anyone seen any such issues before or is this a known issue with the 30 inch.
    Any ideas on what I should do about this.
    I will be taking it to Apple for sure as its still under warranty but would like to know
    what is causing this and whats apples take on it.
    Cheers,
    Ani

    I bought a 30inch as well a couple of months ago but have very little use except for watching movies. But when I use grey colour as the background the banding mark became very noticeable. It seems to be some kind of design issue i suppose and I dont know how Apple is going to address this. It's not a cheap monitor after all and i am very disappointed with this.

  • Help I need a "power brick" for my 30-inch cinema display!!!!!

    I recently moved and lost my "power suppy brick" for my 30-inch cinema display..How do I get another one?? The Applestore wanted my old one to do a even exchange?? But I can't do that...And they don't sell the product as a replacement. I'm stuck with a 2 month old display I can't even use! Any ideas???

    If the display is covered by AppleCare call 1(800)275-2273 and ask for a replacement power adapter. They will send the new unit first, and you are supposed to return the bad unit. You give them a credit card number when you order the part, so they can charge you, if for some reason they don't receive the old part.

  • 27 inch and 24 inch cinema displays dual setup on a Dell desktop PC

  • Cannot match profiles on two 23 inch Cinema Displays

    I have just bought a new 23 inch Cinema Display in addition to my original which is only 8 months old. Using Xrite (GretagMacbeth)Eye One profiler the screens still do not match. The new screen appears much brighter and the 'old' screen much duller. Placing a blank white box created in Photoshop CS3 over the two screens shows a marked difference. Am I to expect this with a screen only 8 months old? How can I get them to match without 'cheating' with the white point? Serious help needed. many thanks.

    I don't think that there are any PCI-X graphics cards, and if there were, drivers would be another issue. PCI cards would work in a PCI-X slot, but unfortunately, none of those cards are capable of displaying dual link DVI. The best graphics core you can hope to get via PCI is an NV 6200 or ATI 9250
    Also, there aren't any Mac supported AGP cards that have 2 dual-link DVI ports, only 1.
    The only way you could do this is to upgrade to a PCI-express based machine and use the Nvidia Quadro FX4500, which is a $1600+ card + the cost of the new G5...
    A new G5 MIGHT not be so expensive, as there is or about to be a mass exodus of pro shops that will be getting out of the G5 to move to the Intel Mac Pro soon.
    If you had another dual-link capable machine, you could remote desktop in and use a KVM to switch between machines / monitors, but this is sort of a silly complex way of doing something that should be simple through hardware upgrades.

  • Will my LED 27 Cinema Display work with the new Mac Pro?

    Will my LED 27 Cinema Display work with the new Mac Pro?

    Mini DisplayPort (like 27" LED Cinema Display) is a direct subset of ThunderBolt (like Mac pro late 2013). It plugs right in and the display portion "just works", no adapters required.
