I have just bought an Apple 23" Cinema HD Display (Aluminium DVI) and bought an official DVI to Display Port (not mini DP) and plugged it into my Macbook (White Non-Unibody), the display is detected but the screen does not turn on. If there is a solution to me getting the screen to display an image, I would appreciate greatly any advice!
Thanks!

You should bw using a Mini-DVI to DVI adapter.

Is the display's power adapter connected?
Is the display's USB cable plugged into the computer?
Have you tried "Gather Windows" in Displays system preference?
Thanks for the reply,
1. That adaptor is the one I have bought!
2. Yes the power adapter is connected.
3. Every cable from the power cord is connected (Mini DVI, USB, Firewire)
4. Yes, I tried that and it only brought one window over to my MacBook's screen from the Cinema Display; Cinema Display HD Preferences.
I have literally tried so much, to try and get this display to work; including a fresh install of Mac OS X, PRAM reset, etc.
Does the display power light come on or flash?
Hello again,
The display power light starts off flashing with the short,short,short pattern when it turns on then it goes solid meaning it should be ok.
I should probably call Apple but I'm pretty sure that they do not give support for devices before 2005 in which the display is from 2005 and is under the "discontinued" section.
I'll give it a go!
Thanks for your support!
