The monitor # is M8149. It's looks like the monitor u posted and the end of the second one down that u posted is correct. It has 10 teeth & 1 longer one at the end. Pardon my lack of lingo. What do u think?
I the 2nd one down, you need this adapter...

But I don't find a 22" cinema with that port, can you post a picture of the port on the display using the tiny camera icon in a reply?
Sadly, that's an ADC connector, which would requre an expensive/rare DVI to ADC connecror with Powe Supply, & another adapter to get dvi on your Mini... & double converters may not work at all.
Thank u for your advice & breaking the news gently ;)) Today I said "to he'll with it" & bought a 27" new apple monitor from Best Buy. Wish me luck my friend as wish u. Thx again!
OK, good luck! 🙂
Guess what?!
B4 I asked the ? Re: hooking up my monitor I had bought a few different adapters. Well, the day I ordered the new monitor I was telling u about, the adapters came in the mail. I bought an adapter from amazon for$99 bucks & a couple other $4-5 ones. THEY WORKED!
I got the old Apple LCD 22" Cinema Display monitor hooked up to my 2010/11 Mac Mini w/ an Apple DVI to ADC adapter (M8661 LL/B from Amazon $99) along w/ a mini display port to DVI female adapter (approx $5-11 from Amazon).
Plugged right in! I couldn't believe it!
So there it is for those w/the same problem. Thanks for all ur help!!!
Hoot, great to hear, thanks for the report... good price on that DVI->ADC adapter too! 😀
Thx! Couldn't have done it without u
