| Missing power cable for a Cinema HD Display A1082, which options? | |
| Posted by: ironborn65 on 2021-08-29 08:16:06 Hi pals, I got a Cinema HD Display A1082 for free, the catch is that there is no PSU and power cable. I can use a generic 24V for the PSU. I'm more concerned about the missing cable that plugs in the back (see attached image). I see a couple of options: - open the display and take out a cable adding a different connector. The tear-down seems very complex and delicate. - keep looking for a power cable, but despite my many attempts I'm not able to find on its own or with a compatible PSU. BTW it seems to be pretty unique in design, aka non standard, I do not know it's name or how to find one and create a cable myself Anything else I can try? Any help is appreciated and very welcome thanks best PF  | |

| Posted by: epooch on 2021-08-29 08:54:32 I believe that is for a security lock so people can't steal it, not a data cable. I have the same monitor, and it works fine without anything in there. Great monitor BTW! | |
| Posted by: LaPorta on 2021-08-29 09:39:41 Wow, TOTALLY didn't realize what was going on there, thanks epooch! I am sure then that you are missing the power brick, which looks like this one from mine:  I am sure that one can be found on eBay somewhere. | |
| Posted by: epooch on 2021-08-29 09:59:25 I can't recommend this, but at least it is an option: | |
| Posted by: epooch on 2021-08-29 12:37:16 Actually, this is a really good price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/184770905497 However, this is for a lower wattage than the HD monitor uses. The ones for your monitor are the 90W which is about $30 on ebay | |
| Posted by: ironborn65 on 2021-08-29 15:01:40 ah ahn, thanks guy, this was a revelation to me! I just need the brick ... from USA can be painful dute to custom BS ... but I now have a plan! thanks again guys PS: cutting the cable it not the direction I'll follow | |
