Thanks for posting this. I bought one of these from eBay recently. It had a perfect display, but something was wrong with the circuitry, causing it to put the computer to sleep if the screen got too bright (like when there's a full-size window with a lot of white areas). The problem was even worse in OS X, where it was constantly putting the computer to sleep. So I bought another one from eBay that was priced really cheaply because it had a badly scratched screen. It functions perfectly otherwise. Thanks to your teardown, I was able to disassemble both of them and swap the screens. Now I have a perfectly functional 15" Studio Display with a perfect screen. Interestingly, the one with the sleep issues seems to work properly now. So maybe there was a loose connection in it or something, and taking it apart and putting it back together fixed it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just acquired this display and was wondering why the power light looks orange. It must be a burn as well! Thanks for solving this mystery for me. I wonder if this is a common issue affecting this display?
I could make a video with the accessories and how to connect them with a power mac g4 cube or at least someone who knows them writes them to me or tells me of some page. I have one of those '-' and I am not sure if it has all the accessories especially I don't know well about the connector to load it does not bring it and I would like to see if I can get an equal one or that it serves to be able to use it ..

yes, but how to repair a broken off stand like yours?
