27" Cinema display goes black, connected to Mid 2011 iMac w/thunderbolt connections.

I bought a used 27" Cinema Display (A1316) and had it connected to my Mid 2011 iMac with thunderbolt connections. The screen goes black but I can still get audio through its speakers. Do I need to replace the cable bundle? Help please!
