What to do with a dead Studio Display
I just picked up an Apple Studio Display from the university surplus. 17" and I was happy to get it. Of course, it was free. I got it home and nothing shows up. My powerbook detects it and acts as though it is there. It responds to wake/sleep by changing the color of the power button, but nothing appears on the display.
Is there anything I can do? I can HEAR it turn on, but there's just no picture. Is it salvagable? Any suggestions?

Of course I am not saying you should do that. It just popped into my mind, as I think all of these types of ads are for totally dead things. Like someone selling a keyboard or Base Station and saying "not able to test, can't guarantee it"... should actually read "totally dead". Good way to get a few hundred bucks for a paper weight.
As for your display, no idea man. Do you know anyone at your local Mac shop that could take a look at it without charging you to do it? I'm sure Apple would charge you half the cost of the thing to just look at it... this is why I like buying my stuff locally, even if is a few bucks more. They tend to be a bit more helpful in situations like this.
If it's not salvageable, hollow it out and make an aquarium. Get a Betta fish and stick him in there. They don't need much water to be happy... and who the hell else has a 17" LCD aquarium?!

Maybe some flatworms too?

It's not an LCD, it's the CRT. Hey, it was free.

Is this supposed to be in the "Apple Innovations" thread?
