Mac Pro 5.1 late 2012 stopped working with cinema screen.
I have a Mac Pro late 2012 which turns on, but my cinema screen is blank. Can I attach my MacBook to the cinema screen to check if it’s just the screen?

your Mac Pro 2012 does not have Thunderbolt-2 ports, or USB-C,
Cinema display LED 27-in A1316 from 2011 is a 2560 by 1440 display that features lead-in cord with three connectors -- Mini DisplayPort, MagSafe-2 and a USB-A pigtail. It does NOT work with the Thunderbolt adapter, but works fine with a USB-C to miniDisplayPort adapter.
It includes three USB 2.0 ports and a convenient single cable with THREE connectors (Mini DisplayPort, MagSafe-2, and USB 2.0), a built-in iSight camera with a mic and a 2.1 speaker system.
This display works great with a USB-C to MINI-DisplayPort adapter.
For use with older Macs like your Mac Pro 2012, you might be using no adapter, or a DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort adapter. (depending on what card you are using.)

That's the case I described above.
The Mac 5770 has two Mini DisplayPorts.
Before you pull everything apart to connect to a MacBook Pro, try the other mini DisplayPort. I have seen one port on a graphics card fail and the others continue to work.
I see that there are several others that might be called cinema display, including the 30-in Cinema Display that I use. these would use different connection methods.
¿Which is your display?
what graphics card are you running?
