| Help! Multiple Scan 17-inch won’t power-up! |
Posted by: ktkm on 2022-02-25 15:05:48
I received a Multiple Scan 17-inch monitor today. The unit seems to be in good shape but won’t power up. Since I would like to rule out a possible faulty control panel board, is there a way to test the power supply without the microprocessor control board and control panel board? |

Is it plugged into a period correct Mac (eg an Apple desktop with DB15 connector)? I had a marginal 1710 that needed to sense video and it lethargically fired up after a couple of minutes. The same monitor did have a bad controller board, but two 1710s were eventually merged into one good. The one that had a replacement controller/yoke board done by Apple was marked as such in my instances. |

Is it plugged into a period correct Mac (eg an Apple desktop with DB15 connector)? The monitor is connected to a Quadra 950 (listed as a compatible system) running macOS 8.1 for this test, and the resolution options show up as expected in the Monitors control panel.

I’m not able to. At times the LEDs on the control panel board blinks when the system boots. |

When power is added all the LEDs lit up for fraction of a second. Should I suspect the control panel board?
