In the middle of working my Cinema Displays ( A 2008 24" LED version) just dimmed.
I can still read what is on screen, it's just the backlight's output that has been halved.
This has happened before, and then the display recovered after a while. But this is annoying. Am I looking at needing to replace it? Or is there something I can do?
Hi there,
I've had same problem with mine last couple of months. Sometimes it goes all black and sometimes it just dimm. When it goes all black I've got the signal back by disconnecting, connecting the Mini-display cable back-and-forth. It seems to work better if the Magsafe and USB cable are unplugged first.
Last time my screen dimmed I managed to get the full brightness back by first adjusting the brightness to lowest value. After that I disconnected the main power-supply cable. After a few seconds I re-connected the power-supply cable and adjusted the brightness back to max. When increasing the brightness the screen flickred a few times and suddenly it worked like it should again.
Give it a go! 🙂
