Q: Apple a1082 23" Screen Flicker
I recently bought the old 23" cinema display (circa 2005) second hand and have been experiencing a flickering issue, at irregular intervals, the screen just switches off for 1-4 seconds and then comes back on, it appears to completely lose power as the LED goes off too, this happends on average every 20 seconds. I'm using it with a 2010 white macbook running Mountain Lion but have also tested it with another macbook running Snow Leopard, but the same problems occur. I've also tried two different (both brand new) DVI to mini display port adapters but that has made no difference.
The screen seems to flicker more when I put it at a higher brightness. I don't think I've been sold a faulty display because otherwise there are no signs of ware, the previous owner has also been very helpful and offered a full refund if I can't fix the issue.
Does this issue sound familiar to anyone and/or is there a known solution?
