Apple LED Cinema Display: 24" LED Cinema Display flickers then dies (A1267)

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 11:29:35 -0700

Greetings,

I am looking for some help with my 6-year old ACD. It works for about 2-3 seconds when turned on, then flickers and dies. This happens regardless of whether it is plugged into my MacBook or Mac Mini.

Using a flashlight, I can still see my desktop on the screen, but it is extremely dark. The other features (MagSafe charger, speakers & iSight) are all working fine.

Going through the questions here, this seems like a pretty common problem, however the answers are conflicting and confusing - some people say the logic board is toast, others say the backlight is dead, and I've even read something about the backlight being part of the logic board (what??) which is faulty.

Can somebody please confirm exactly what is wrong, and the replacement part I'd need to buy? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Magic Trackpad 2: Magic Trackpad 2 no longer responding nor appearing anywhere

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 06:26:08 -0700

I have recently found my old Magic Trackpad 2 and upon plugging it in to charge, nothing happened, I assumed the battery just needed time to charge but to my disappointment leaving it to charge while at work wasn't sufficient to get any sort of life from it.

I assume the battery is dead and the charging circuit doesn't want to charge it due to it being critically low but im looking for alternative answers instead of opening it up for now

Apple wired aluminum keyboard (extended): Apple Extended Keyboard Repair Advice

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 23:11:58 -0700

I have an Apple Extended Keyboard, which works pretty well, except for the W key.

If I apply very little force, it sometimes does not work, maybe two out of ten strokes. If I apply excessive force, it works every time.

What is the recommended way to troubleshoot this type of issue? I removed the keycap, but didn't see anything obvious, such as signs of spilled liquid or excessive grime.

Apple Magsafe 3 Charger: Outer isolation (rope one) "fell" out of the MagSafe connector

Sat, 23 May 2026 03:54:23 -0700

The issue is that the outer ropy isolation layer fell out of the connector for some reason (the end that plugs into the MacBook), is there any way to disassemble it and put the ropy stuff back in? the inner isolation is fully in tact (the black layer underneath the rope) and the charger works fine. but those ropes keep bothering me...

Apple Thunderbolt Display: buzzing / Noise. Power supply issue?

Fri, 22 May 2026 05:29:19 -0700

Hi.

A friend have a problem with his 27" Thunderbolt display. Is it really annoying buzzing sound. My first guess would be the power supply??

The display in functioning OK, but that noise is killing the entire office.

How is the front glass attached? Glue? Can't see that in the break down guide.

Anyone else seen this?

Thanks

Here is a video of the issue.

Apple LED Cinema Display: Black Screen with Sound

Thu, 14 May 2026 07:07:10 -0700

I used to have my Mac Mini (2009 edition) connected to my living room tv. Since we recently upgraded the surround sound, I was wanting to connect it back to my 24" cinema display in the office, but when I connected everything and powered on, I'm not getting any picture. Just a black screen. I've done minor troubleshooting using my Mini and my Air. The mini still connects fine via mini display port to my tv, and my air will transfer sound to the cinema display via the usb. Is there a way to determine if the display port connection on the all-in-one cable to the cinema display is bad? Or at this point am I forced into trial and error with swapping out parts? Please let me know if you have any ideas. Trying not to buy a new display in new parts. >.<

Apple Cinema HD Display: I have a 30 inch Apple Cinema Display that just went blank

Mon, 11 May 2026 05:04:15 -0700

I bought this new 10-12 years ago I believe. It's had a couple of odd glitches. Then about 45 days ago it went blank? I've tried hooking it up to 3 different Apple Computers (2 Mac Mini's & even the PowerPC G5 I originally bought it for). I only have one power supply which at bought at the same time. Any suggestions?

NOTE: I usually have it hooked up to my Mac Mini 3.1 (late 2012) with 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9400 w/256MB VRAM.

NOTE: Light on monitor does not light up now.

Apple Wireless Keyboard: Batteries corroded & stuck inside Apple Wireless Keyboard (Aluminum)

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 22:07:14 -0700

The Apple Wireless Keyboard (Aluminum) uses three AA batteries. One of the AA batteries in my keyboard is stuck inside due to corrosion. I've managed to strip down most of the keyboard, but I'm stuck with the final C-clip that is deep inside and I haven't got any tool to undo the C-clip. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

Apple Thunderbolt Display: How can I fix my display blacking out intermittently?

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 22:13:09 -0700

I've had the Apple Thunderbolt Display for a little more than a year, and it has started to intermittently go black for a few seconds at a time. When it does, I usually lose connection to my usb devices connected through the display. If I let it go on, it blanks more and more frequently until the system kernel panics.

So far, I've tried cleaning the contacts with rubbing alcohol. This made them more visually attractive, but did not solve the problem.

Second, I tried using another macbook pro, but it had the same issue.

I've noticed that the thunderbolt connector heats up significantly when it's in use. I'm wondering if there's a heat-related issue that could be causing a broken connection in the electronics inside the connector. Any thoughts?

AirPort Time Capsule A1470: Time Capsule is overheating w/yellow flashing light

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 10:30:01 -0700

Has anyone successfully repaired a Time Capsule that's overheating all the time? The yellow light is always flashing and when I pull up AirPort Utility it says "this device may be overheating." The device does feel warm to the touch (not hot). I've called Apple and they say they can't fix it and won't replace it since it's not under warranty any longer. I'm considering cracking it open to see if cleaning out dust and whatnot might improve air circulation and fix the problem, but I'm curious if anyone else has done this before?

Apple MagSafe2 Power Adapter: Is there any known way to test Mag-Safe adapters

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 18:42:11 -0700

I’d like to be able to tell if I have a bad Mag-Safe adapter or if I need to look at the computer. I know they fail, as I have a box full of failed ones. It would be nice to tell first if my power source is working correctly. Anybody know how?

You would think there would be some type of testing software.

Magic Mouse 2: Fixing Magic Mouse 2 which stopped working on some normal surfaces

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 06:35:56 -0700

Hi,

Up until yesterday everything was fine, my Apple Magic Mouse 2 was working correctly on all surfaces.

Suddenly, the Magic mouse has stopped working on most regular surfaces and almost all fabrics (moving the mouse may move the cursor a little bit on these surfaces).

It does work on a transparent nylon, a very soft fabric (EDIT: 100% polyester) and on a leather couch and a specific part of my bare knee. (everything else like touch gestures works).

What is the reason for this? the optical sensor?

I already tried cleaning the optical sensor with a cloth, connecting it to another mac and removing the mouse preferences files with no luck.

Thanks :)

Apple Studio Display XDR: Anyone know yet if the stand can be removed and swapped to VESA?

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 17:42:55 -0700

Buying the VESA version of this monitor seems like a bad deal since it's the same price as getting it with the fancy stand. I would like to buy it with the stand so I have the stand, then switch to VESA (even if that means taking it to Apple to have it done). Anyone know yet if that is possible?
