Will not power up

I connected my MacBook Air to the old Apple Display 17" LCD monitor (the clear crystal): from mini-port to DVI also from DVI to ADC. However, it simply wouldn't power up the 17 inch display. The button on the lower corner of the display also does not respond.
Seems somebody has posted a similar problem. Has any solution been posted yet? Thank you.
Jim

You have plugged the display into a wall socket as well as the DVI connector to the MBAir and turned that on right? J

SOURCE: Can I use an Apple M7649 Studio Display with a MacBook Pro

Do you have the black unibody Macbook Pro that was just released, or the silver model?

Since the display is DVI, it will directly hook up to the silver model. If you have the new model, you need a mini DVI to DVI adapter.

SOURCE: Will new MacBook work with 17 inch Apple Studio Display?

If you own just a Macbook this is what you need http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8661LL/B#overview
If you own a Macbook Pro http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A
Make sure you do the full research on these things, so that you don't spend money on the wrong thing, adapter and connectors can be somewhat confusing.

SOURCE: 22" Apple Cinema Display doesn't power on

This may be an issue with the display detecting the wrong video format or is using an unsupported resolution for this Apple Cinema Display 22"

Procedure:
• Make sure your Mac is turned off.

• Once your Mac is shutdown, you will need to perform what is called a PRAM reset (Parameter RAM)

• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously .

• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.

• Now, hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the start up sound for the third time.

• Release the keys and allow the Mac to start up.

If that does not help here is additional support reference from Apple regarding its LCD displays:

I have a M8149 Cinema dispaly 22" and want to connect to late 2009 Mac mini. The monitor came with a strange adaptor set of ADC input to 1x each of usb, 24Pin 92x rows of 8) male ADC, and another plug...

The Apple 22" Cinema display M8149 (ADC) is one that is not compatible.
It might be better to find another brand display to work with your 2009 Mac Mini. The Apple model A1081 is DVI, but for the age (its 8 years old, the lamps are likely dimmer than new...) I would look for a resolution-compatible DVI input display (Dell Ultrasharp, etc..).

Yes, you can do this. Firewire is not necessary. That is for connecting your hard-drives should you want to do it through your display.

Dear sir i have a apple cinema display m8149 lcd.i have loss my apple system(cpu) and want to run apple tft with other cpu (intel dvi and vga) tel me the how will conection or explane me where are RGB...

You can run that monitor from a DVI connection but you would need to get an adapter from DVI to ADC and that supplies power to the monitor. DrBott makes an adapter like this called the DVIator (http://www.dviator.com/) that should work for you if you other CPU has DVI out.

M8149 22" Apple ADC display Working perfectly one minute then went totally black.. no flashing lights on any buttons.. like it would be if it were not turned on... tried monitor on another ADC apple...

This issue is can be caused by loose cable connections or a loose DVI graphics card in the computer. Check cable connections and verify there are no bent pins.

Ensure that the DVI graphics card is securely connected in the computer.

You can also try this procedure with your Mac:

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} -PRAM RESET -
Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

• First, hold in your power button for approximately 10 seconds to do a hard shutdown, if you have not already turned your Mac off.

• Once your Mac is shutdown, you will need to perform what is called a PRAM reset (Parameter RAM)
This should help with the freezing issue:

• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously .

• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.

• Now, hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.

• Release the keys and allow the Mac to start up.

• Please update me to let me know if this works.

A PRAM is a good troubleshooting procedure for display issues.

If this does not work, this may be a genuine issue with the graphics card in your Mac, more so, than 2 monitor just burning out. You may need to take the Apple ADC 17" in for service, if the procedures above fails.

I AM TRYING TO CONNECT MY APPLE STUDIO DISPLAY TO MY MACBOOK PRO AND DONT KNOW HOW OR WHAT CONNECTOR I NEED

Your Studio Display uses an ADC connector, which is very much like DVI but also supplies power for the monitor and adds USB pins so that you can use the USB on the monitor. In order to use it with something that has DVI instead of ADC, you need this adapter from Apple; there are a couple places that have it $5-10 cheaper, but you may as well get it from the people who made it, Apple probably has a better return policy than anyone else in a situation like this. You hook this adapter into the wall and into your laptop, and hook the monitor into the adapter. Hope this helps!

Apple 20" display black screen

I've read that aftermarket DVI cable adapters don't work well with this set-up. You might try the Apple DVI to ADC adapter. It's expensive but I see them on eBay or craigslist from time to time at less than half the normal $99 cost.

Studio display m7649 picture will not come up when connected to toshiba laptop

I am not sure how youve manage to connect these 2 items. You did not specify whic Portage you have, but even the most recent only has SXGA video port. The Apple cinema display connector is ADC. APPLE DISPLAY CONNECTOR. No computers on the planet have this port except for apple's. It's basically a modified DVI connector. In order for you to use this monitor with your computer, you would have to purchase a DVI to ADC connector , which is another APPLE only item and selld for $100 new. You would then have to purchase a SXGA to DVI adaptor...It sounds like a costly endeavor, and with a connections your Portage's onboard video card , amynot even support the resolution for this monitor.

Hope this helps.
