Wiring for rev B 15" LCD Studio Display
Posted by: Hrududu on 2010-06-17 11:36:46 Hey guys. I got one of the blue VGA Apple Studio Displays today at a yard sale for $5. It simply had a sign that said, "Not working" so I thought I'd give it a shot for $5. At some point the original VGA cable was cut off and the PO thought he would try and re-wire it up using a new VGA cable and soldering it in. Unfortunately, his efforts didn't seem to work, so I figured I may as well try my hand at it since I've already got the display. Unfortunately his wiring attempt was such a mess, I can't figure out why he was doing, and the service manual from Apple doesn't show you how to take the thing apart much less how its wired. Is there anyone here that owns one of these that can open it up and show me how its wired in?

It's in great physical condition, although it does have a mismatched base (it has the base from the rev c Graphite display,) and it powers up, but with display glitches. About 1/4 of the time, it will power up and work perfectly, then "fade" into malfunctioning over the course of 15-30 minutes. See my old thread for info on it.
