Cinema Display (A1267) black screen with Mac mini
Hi all,
A few weeks ago, I plugged an old 24 inch Cinema Display (A1267) into my new M4 Mac mini and it worked fine, until one day, it started to blow like Jumbo Jet. It had never done that before…
Half a minute later, the fan slowed down to a soft breeze and about ten minutes later, I put the Mac to sleep as I didn’ t need it directly.
When I returned, the screen didn’ t wake up. No fan was heard either.
In the end, I had to disconnect the power cord of the Mac. Then I connected the display as a second display to my (2008) MacPro, but to no avail. The screen was black…
I put the screen aside and used a (crappy) Acer display my daughter had left behind and restarted the Mac mini.
No problem, so I figured nothing was wrong with the Mac mini then and I used the Acer display for a few days, until a few days later, I reconnected the Cinema Display next to he Acer one and HEY! It worked again, so the Acer display was put aside…
About a week later it happened again, so I unplugged the Mac to shut it down and fitted the Acer display next to the Cinema Display about an hour later and started the Mac. Only the Acer one worked as expected and the Cinema Display stayed black, though it shows up in System Settings.
Anyone knows what is wrong here? Is the end near for this - otherwise still fine - display?
