[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1740897, member: 46727"] From memory, the fuse on the MacBook Pro logic board is a tiny fuse that resembles a resistor. In other words, it looks nothing like an ordinary fuse. You couldn't have done any damage to the display by playing a graphic intensive game as all the power and heat generated would be on your Mac. It is possible to overdrive a display, however, the Apple Cinema displays are protected against that. If it's a bad cable, you can always pick up a replacement on eBay to switch out with. You might want to do some googling to see if anyone else has experience in repairing a 24" Cinema display. There's still a lot of older cinema displays around. Another thing to think about.... check on eBay to see if someone has a 24" Cinema display with a bad screen that they want to sell cheap. That's a good way to get parts and maybe swap out the logic board. [/QUOTE]
