Help!? 
My MacBook Black's Logic Board is malfunctioning, while my LCD has been loosing pixels ever so slowly. However, because of the logic board malfunction - after startup the LCD goes black! I don't have the money to replace it with a refurbished logic board - or if there is anything cheaper/faster I can do in the mean time.
So, I've decided to try 2 different Monitors. One is the new Apple Flatscreen which has a laptop power chord, USB and what I found out to be a Thunderbolt male connector. But they don't make a Thunderbolt to Mini-DVI adaptor from my research. Or do they? I'd really like to use this new monitor, because all of my Data is on my MacBook Black!!
The second alternative is an older Apple Monitor with a DVI male connector, except I was told it is a computer! It's the old 2" rounded edged flat screen - so I'm not sure if it's just a monitor or also a computer!? The only connector it has is that DVI. Would I be able to get a DVI to Mini-DVI adaptor and just use this as a Monitor or is it truly a computer? How do I find out if it is a computer?
Thank you!
