Introdução
If the display on your Apple Cinema Display M8149 isn’t turning on, is pixelated, or is cracked, use this guide to replace the LCD screen.
The LCD (liquid crystal display) screen is for displaying computer-generated images. Liquid crystals use a backlight or reflector to produce images in color or monochrome. An LCD screen with a faulty backlight or reflector can cause a display to not work properly.
Before using this guide, if the display is cracked or shattered, clean up shards of glass before and during replacement. Additionally, make sure to unplug the display to prevent damage.
In this guide, you will be removing the back cover and two different circuit boards before removing the LCD screen.
After performing the screen replacement, the screen will turn on to display images.
