I read somewhere that a guy was getting a 1 volt reading on the middle pin of his damaged 90 watt power block. I figured maybe the display might work if I could somehow block the middle pin. So I cut a small strip of paper wide enough to block just the middle pin and long enough to cover both sides and it looked like a "W". I gingerly pressed it into the brick receptacle with a toothpick leaving just a little slack so it would not tear when I pushed in the small white plug. It was a bit of a tight fit but guess what. IT WORKED... I am now enjoying my beloved monitor anew and saved $$$ on replacement brick or repair. If you want to try it and you feel you've nothing to lose, make sure you cover just middle pin (both sides) and you may have to try a couple of times. It worked for me hope you have good luck too.

I mean, it's been mentioned on this and some other forums as well, that changing the display's power button settings sometimes help, but I do not have them iat all. Is there any ACD software or driver's that would include them..?I don't even have any driver cd's - I guess the display never had any driver cds and is supposed to work directly when plugged in? I have a g5 power pc dual processor, os 10.5.x and the aforementioned 23" aluminium ACD + a Wacom cintiq display as a primary screen. Would the OS version be the culprit for not having the power button settings?

My 23" Cinema display is still alive after I assumed it was on its last legs due to the power up problems I was having. I kept "fixing" my problem by rapidly turing the monitor on via a power strip with a power switch I could flip quickly a few times. I haven't had to do that in a while... maybe in months. I seem to remember that even before I started having these power up problems that my Cinema Display was occasionally slow to turn on occasionally, but only in the winter months. I don't know if the weather really has anything to do with this. You'd think it'd be the other way around with the monitor having problems in the hot summer months and no problems with the colder winter months helping it dissapate heat.

The NVRAM is reset by turning machine on while holding the keys option -apple-o-f at the same time and wait to hear the startup tone 3 times then let go off the keys and you will get white screen with command console, type in : reset-nvram press enter type in reset-all it will reply ok and reboot . You also must reset the pram it is a button located in the computer bellow the ram sticks it its marked PRAM . To reset buton you must disconnect all from the computer and also the power . Press button only once . Reconnect and restart . Look for info at the apple knowledge base . Resetting PRAM and NVRAM This should fix problem permanently . Whenever you change major hardware it is good idea to reset it . The power supply is key as-well it gets old and stops working properly . You need to reset the NVRAM and the PRAM .

It will cost me $66 after I return the old part. I've been having the "black screen" problem for the past few months, but had about 2 1/2 years of use with no problems. I've used all of the fixes listed above, all of which work some of the time and don't some of the time. My best solution has been to never turn my computer off.

Sounds like the conversion rate from set creating to buying is the biggest challenge. Love viewing sets but the prices are a deterrent to hit the buy button. Offering low cost alternatives to high cost popular sets may increase your buy ratio. Also, allowing a celebrity stylist like Rachael Zoe to create low cost sets would be another idea to increase revenue. She does the same for Zappos and the shoes sell out immediately. Great concept.
