Hi, The monitor was working perfectly last night. Today, the screen won’t light up even a little bit. The cables are ok, power and USB are delivering. Is it just dead, or is there any way to find a replacement part? If so, what part am I looking for?
You’ll need to do the flashlight test! Take a flashlight and place it on the screen at about a 20 degree angle with the monitor turned on and plugged in. Do you see a faint image of your desktop & icons? If you do then we know the displays backlight is in trouble. Let us know what you find!
Hi Alan, Any news on this? A recently acquired 24” Cinema Display is doing the same, no faint image either. USB, Sound iSight all recognised but not the display. Tried on both iMac and MacBook pro - both work with another monitor on the same ports. Thanks, Ben
