Hi folks... I have a 2010 vintage (pre-thunderbolt) Mac Pro & LED Cinema Display. The LED Cinema Display is going blank intermittently and randomly. This is the 2nd LED Display that is having this problem and Apple had provided a new one to me as a replacement about 6-months ago. Although it's possible, I'm finding it hard to believe that I received (2) LED Displays that have the same problem, that have gone through Apple's quality / production system.
It could be the monitor board, but I've also had the Mac Pro looked at (4) times for a hard drive issue and the system scan has come out clean each time.
When the LED Cinema Display is lit, everything works like a champ.
I also have an Apple TV where I can play music from the Mac Pro in the living room. However, whenever the Display goes blank, the Apple TV will show that it's lost it's connection and can't play music for the entire duration that the Display is out. As soon as it comes back on, the Apple TV works great again.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Paras.
