crownedsalmoner Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Hello, My friend was throwing away his old 24" cinema display from 2010 and I was searching for a secondary monitor so I said that I would take it. Anyway so the power supply seemed to be the culprit but a new power supply costs the same as a new monitor so I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to hook it up to another (preferably cheaper) power supply instead? The logic board seems intact so it will be possible to reuse that in this project as well. I would love to get it working, so any help would be much appreciated. I uploaded some pics of it just incase thats of any use. Many thanks.

LouCioccio Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 http://www.dvwarehouse.com/661-4821-Apple-Power-Supply-212-W-for-LED-Cinema-Display-24---NEW-p-37697.htmlI would look here first. You may find it cheaper on flea bay. You will still need a schematic (good luck) to find out the proper voltages and cobble a connector to mate with it.

crownedsalmoner Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Yeah, I was kinda looking for a way to avoid buying one of those original PSU's, and instead use something a little cheaper. I saw this: http://reismanitservices.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/replacement-power-adapter-for-23-apple.html which does show that it is possible however I'm just a bit unsure as to whether I can use the same model of power supply they use since I'm using a newer version of the cinema display.

LouCioccio Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 http://tim.id.au/laptops/apple/displays/led_cinema_display_24.pdf But no schematic. I did look at eBay and DVWarehouse is cheaper. I guess you have to look at the headache or the easy way. Hope this at least helps.
