HELP!!!Apple Cinema Display 22" M8149
OK, to set this up, I have had my power mac g4 for about 2 years. Computer works fine, it's the display that is starting to mess with me now.
About 1 month ago, as I was rendering and left the screen alone, I noticed that the screen just went black, the power light started to shine really really brightly and steadily(not blinking)
I have had this problem a couple of times before with that type of power light signal, but that was due to sudden blackouts or power outtages, and I was able to fix that by waiting a few hours and disconnecting the power cord to teh mac and ACD, then reconnecting the ACD and power cord.
Now whenever I try to plug the display back in, all I get is the really bright power light shining and nothing else. And I have tried unplugging everything and then replugging everything and still nothing. As soon as I plug the ACD in or the power cord to the mac when nothing is on, the power button on my ACD immediatley turns on its high beam
I have searched literally dozens of forums and no one seems to have the same problem as me, just blinking or amber lights, but not a steady bright light.
I even read that it might have to do with the CMOS battery or a loose graphics card. So I replaced the battery and reseated everything that I could within the mac just in case anything was loose, and I still get the intense white power light and a black screen.
There has been a day or two within the month that the light won't immediately go on when I plug either the Mac or the ACD in and it will work normally....for about a couple of hours, and then shut off again on its own,
This leads me to believe that there is hope that I can fix it on my own. I just need the right knowledge and I am hope anyone on here can help
Thank you in advance
Cheers
