@nicolasdanjou1262, Thanks for watching and for your question. What is the Model Number of your display? And to what MAC are you trying to connect it to? When you connect the Thunderbolt cable to your MAC, both video and audio are active, and you'll be able to use both the built-in camera and mic while on a Facetime call.

@Bob-qf8fi Thank you for watching and for taking the time to post your comments. Glad to hear you got value out of my video. Awesome that your monitor is once again shining brite! Which part of the video did you find most helpful?

Hi @@HumbertoAreas, Your video was a step-by-step process with key points along the way - very, clear precise instructions! Way to go! And, thanks again, so very happy!

@leokimvideo Well that sucks! Glad to hear you captured everything on video. Just saw the photos you posted on your community tab, very scary and concerning. Glad to hear it did not escalate into anything major. Hopefully Apple will make this right and refund your money or any other satisfactory solution. Please keep me (and everyone on here) posted, as this may be an issue other are or will experience in the near future.

@sandrasotoramos8293 Hello and thanks for reaching out, watching the video and taking the time to post your questions. You're not alone on this one... everyone has a hard time reconnecting that last cable with the tag on it. Although it is the hardest to reconnect, it is the easiest to figure out in which direction/orientation it should slide in. The tag and lever on that cable should face up and away from the logic board, otherwise you will not be able to fold over the tag/lever that holds it in place. So tu answer your question, yes, it should face the LCD displays. Please keep me posted on your repair and let me know which part of the video you found most helpful?

@carolarm1 You and your willingness to take on something you had never attempted before is what's amazing. So happy to hear that another one of these displays is back to work! Thank you for taking the time to post your comments. So glad my video was able to help you. PS: Which part of the video did you find most helpful?

@TheCoats Hey, thanks for watching and for taking the time to post your question. Head over to everymac.com/monitors/apple/ and please verify your display's model number, as I don't see Model A1318 listed on there. Could it be A1316? This info would have an impact on the type of cable you're looking for. Please keep me posted on that info. Once I hear back from you, I can point you in the right direction, as far as what type of cable you'll need. PS: which part of the video did you find most helpful?

@@HumbertoAreas cable replace of course, i have same issue witjh my thunderbolt display

@pacobelsue6661 Thanks for watching and for taking the time to post you comments and questions. Glad to hear my video encouraged you in some way to take action. As you hunt for a new cable... my first question is: What is the model number of your display? Sounds like you have a Cinema Display my friend, and not a Thunderbolt Display. This has a lot to do with the type of cable you're looking for. If indeed you have a Cinema Display, you need to look for a "Mini DisplayPort cable" and not a Thunderbolt cable. You can go to everymac.com/monitors/apple/ and verify which display you have. And to answer your question, never gamble your money on used electronic parts, always buy new when possible. I found my cable on Amazon - although I've noticed that sellers offering these cables are few now. Please keep me in the loop and posted on your display. PS: which part of the video did you find most helpful?

@satchel888 Thanks for watching and for taking the time to post your question(s). Please verify the model number of your display and tell me to which MAC (or PC) you are connecting to? When you "don't see a screen show up", you mean the system does not recognize it? this can be found inside System Preferences > Displays. Look forward to your response.

@kyleperkins4757 Hey Kyle, thanks for watching and for taking the time to post your question. What part of the video did you find most helpful? Unfortunately there’s not much you can buy these days for under $40! I would stay away from used cable offers. I haven’t gone on ebay lately, so don’t know what these cables are going for there. I know Amazon now has a handfull of sellers offering these cables, but are more than $100! Please keep me posted if you find a more reasonable priced seller. I will research and post here any findings.

@freedomisfromtruth Thanks for taking the time to post your questions. There is no button or switch to turn the display on - once an a PC is connected, the display detects the input and comes on automatically. What issue (if any) are you experiencing with your display?

@WinningTime328 Thanks for taking the time to post your comments and questions, and for potentially keeping another beautiful display out of a landfill - great find indeed! Please keep me posted on your all-in-one-cable replacement. Hopefully a simple cable swap can bring your display back to life. And yes, I would say this is a common problem on these 2011 dinosaurs - it's no coincidence that so many people have gotten their displays back to life with a cable swap. Thanks again for watching!

@@HumbertoAreas Initially purchased a USED all-in-one cable, which actually showed the display turn on, showing some signs of life; however, after some flickering it would soon turn off. So I returned the used cable and ordered a brand new one instead, and now its been nearly a full week since, with the display functioning and staying on! Thanks a bunch Humberto, it's beautiful! I just have one problem now: I have the display hooked up to my iMac, and after it goes to sleep and I wake it up, I then lose ability to adjust the display's brightness via the system setting --> displays controls. I've tried resetting PRAM and SMC, but still can't retain brightness adjustment controls after going to sleep. As of now, the only way to regain adjustment function is to disconnect, then reconnect the thunderbolt cable. I'm just worried continued reconnection might wear out the cable :( Any ideas??? FYI: I'm using a 2013 27" iMac 780M GPU, on the latest Ventura OS via Open Core Legacy Patcher. The iMac on Ventura runs beautifully smooth with no hiccups anywhere else.

@jacobgordon7179 Thanks for taking the time to post your comment/question. I believe this is the first time someone has reported on the comments a "popping" sound associated with the blackout of the display. Q: does the display show up under Setting > Displays (assuming you're on MacOS)? Or is it completely dead at this point? Thanks again for watching. Please keep me posted. PS: which part of the video did you find most helpful?

@tomstone3816 Thank for taking the time to post your questions and for watching. To Answer your questions, no, my display did not show any signs of life when plugged to a power outlet. Quick question: when Apple tech plug the display to his laptop, does the Operating System recognize the display? You can check by going to System Settings > Displays. If the display shows up there, then you may not need to worry about the power supply just yet. Keep me posted on your progress. What part of the video did you find most helpful?

@@HumbertoAreas Thanks for getting back to me so quick. I do not remember if the Apple Tech stated if the display was recognized. I am planning on buying a thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable anyways to I will check System Settings>Displays. Thanks for this info. I actually found the entire video helpful as I may replace my full cable setup too.

@amyparker1355, Thanks so much for taking the time to post your comments. Great to hear your monitor is alive once again! Which part of the video did you find most helpful?

@mackydread, Thanks for your comments and questions. I have to say, I'm really not familiar with either of the two docks you mention. These old monitors offer very little support to newer hardware components - let me check out the specs on those two docks and see what kind of output they offer for both audio/video. Sounds like the ports on the docks may not have enough juice to keep the display on. Do you have any update(s) since posting your question?

@mikem2132, thanks for taking the time to post your comments. Glad to hear your monitor is working once again. Which part of the video did you find most helpful?

@@HumbertoAreas The entire video - I wasn’t entirely sure if it was the all in one cable. But I watched the video, ordered the part then watched the video again while I put the new cable in. Works like a champ and the instructions were great - Thanks again!!

Where did you get the part from

@@kyleperkins4757 eBay - ORIGINAL Apple Thunderbolt Display 27" A1407 MC914 AIO LCD Cable. I got a used original cable.

@AyTvBroadcast, thanks for reaching out and for taking the time to post your comments and questions. for how long do you unplug your monitor? And once you plug it back in, for how long does it stay on without flickering?

@vietkhoamax, thanks for reaching out and for taking the time to post your comments and questions. Have you installed the Intel Thunderbolt™ 3 and 4 DCH Driver for Windows 10 and 11?

@chrismehling9968, thanks for watching my video, glad to hear you got value out of it. Since these displays are so old now, everything about them is challenging - and yes, especially that PIA cable. 😄 Have you examined the tab that came lose with a magnifying glass? It'll be helpful to determine whether it came off, or broke off? if it broke off, there is black electrical tape that perhaps will do the trick of holding that tab in place. Similar black tape is used around the displays to hold cables in place. So perhaps we can apply the same? Either way, when moving the display, be extra careful to minimize any vibration that would make the tab/cable come lose. Which part of the video did you find most helpful?

@Byangelinamaria, thank you for watching. Glad to hear you got value of out my video. Which part did you find most useful?

@@HumbertoAreas I was able to replace the cable with your step by step and tools you suggested it was a breeze.

@Byangelinamaria, this is great news indeed! Glad to hear your display is working again. Now that you have done the all-in-one cable replacement, (A) what part of my video did you find most helpful and (B) what suggestions would you give someone looking to do this cable swap?

@Boncks, thanks for watching. Glad to hear you got value out of the video. So did you open your display and found out where the noise was coming from?

@KENWAYED, thanks for watching and for taking the time to post your comments. Sorry to hear the display got knocked over, bummer really. Unfortunately everything is so old and brittle inside these displays, that those connectors are really fragile. Is the piece that ripped off held in place to the socket/connectors by pins or is it solder?

hmm, solder probably? or well, i am not too well versed in anything tech lol but in simple terms, that fragile 2 piece wire thing ripped from the black shrink tube. what i just noticed right now though is that mine looks a little big different from yours in the video; there is no t10 screw there, just the shrink tube/wire connection edit; never mind it’s there i just had to bend the metal part! i guess it’s connected to the board through the metal or something?

@@HumbertoAreas you said in the video that the little thing im working on is just the ground cable and my issue is that there’s sound but no display.. so does that mean there might be something wrong with the lcd connector? maybe that broke?

@Amylouise Smith, thanks for watching and for taking the time to post your comment. It looks more intimidating than it actually is. The trick is to go slow and carefully. Q: which part of the video did you find most helpful?

@JorgePayar, thanks for watching and for taking the time to post your comment. Seems like everything is more expensive nowadays!

@J M, thank you for watching and for posting your comments. Indeed, using the spare Thunderbolt port is a great work-around to this issue. The only setback to that route is you have to run a separate charging cable to your laptop (in my case), and I hate cables all over my desk. I try to minimize cables where ever possible. Glad to hear this option worked for you and again, thanks for sharing your experience/solution with everyone here.

@@HumbertoAreas Question, so the power output is also connected to the original single cable even though physically there are two plugs? magsafe and TB?

@@HumbertoAreas

@Christian Thompson, thank you for watching and thanks for posting your questions and comments. The all-in-one cable carries power, audio and video and bundled up in one... so hard to say exactly what fails. This is why replacing this cable is one of the first (and most inexpensive) parts/steps in trouble shooting these displays. This video was created to reflect my own experience with my display and I shared it in hopes that it would helps other who may be experiencing a similar situation.

@Wiljuchi, thank so much for watching and for taking the time to post your comments and questions. Keep in mind that a Thunderbolt cable carries both audio and visual. So when everything is bundled into one cable, it is very hard to know which part is not working or sending signal. Now the power magsafe cable stems separately from the bundled Thunderbolt cable. So it is possible that the power/magsafe cable still works and charges your laptop. So it is possible that the charging cable works, but then there is an issue with the Thunderbolt cable itself. Q: When you connect the display to your PC, does the PC recognize the display? What setup are you using? Let me know and I'll try to best help you. Look forward to your response.

@@HumbertoAreas Hiya, thanks for replying. So with mine it was doing the flashing like your display. There is still power coming through the display as the magsafe still charges the laptop but the display goes off. I used to turn it off wait a bit then it would generally come back on, now it won't come on at all.

Btw, compre un cable para ver si se solucionaba y la pantalla sigue sin encender. Lo conseguí como un monitor de segunda mano. Sabes si cambiando todo nuevamente se solucionaría? Saludos

@Mauro, thanks for watching and for taking the time to post your comments. Most of the time, replacing the all-in-one cables takes care of the issue, and this is by far the most inexpensive trouble shoot you can do on your own. Let me know what you end up doing in order to get your display working again.

@Mauro, saludos hermano. Cual cable comprastes? Me puedes confirmar esto? La mayoria de estos displays de segunda tienen el problema de la pantalla que se va a negro. Saludos y quedo atento.

I've made this and the screen still not working. I have sound only

@Mauro, thanks for watching and for taking the time to post your comments. Have you resolved your Display issue? Did you try replacing the all-in-one cable? Or did you try the stand alone Thunderbolt cable option like @Curtis Larson suggested? Which is also another work-around. Please keep us posted, we're here to help.
