Hi I have a apple Cinema Display here that I have been working on and it’s acting really strange It works fine until I get to the OS,the screen turns black and I get this weird distorted pixel mess at th top of the screen It never used to display anything but I cleaned the main board and ultrasonic cleaned it and it started working (kinda) I have also tried looking for any shorts and I could find any I believe it’s a firmware issue but I just want to make sure;-) Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks:-)
Hi Just though I would leave a update I ordered a HDMI adapter from the Cinema Display and now it works absolutely fine strangely enough No idea why it wouldn’t work over DVI but over HDMI Thanks to everyone who has helped:-)
So the order of your images are backwards correct? You see the Apple logo and then the screen goes black with the colored stripes. If that’s the case then this is a settings issue where the screen can’t support the scan rate you’ve selected is to high within the display settings. Go into Safe mode to alter the displays setting to a lower value to see if that works. The Cinema display series is limited to the following: 20" - 1024 x 640, 1280 x 800, and 1680 x 105023" - 1024 x 640, 1280 x 800, and 1920 x 120030" - 1024 x 640, 1280 x 800, 1920 x 1200, 2048 x 1280, and 2560 x 1600
