Bij het opstarten zie ik wel het apple logo met opstartbalk, maar daarna blijft het scherm verder zwart, power led onderaan brand wel. Powerapdapter van deze 30” aangesloten op mijn 23” en krijg wel beeld! Adapter van de 23” werkt niet op de 30”, waarschijnlijk is de adapter van de 30” wel ok.

Apple Thunderbolt Display: Scherm is zwart, maar mac herkent het scherm+ geluid werkt nog

Mijn thunderbolt dispaly geeft enkel nog een zwart scherm, mijn macbook herkent het scherm nog wel, en ook muziek afspelen gaat nog, maar het beeld is dus niet meer zichtbaar, heb al geprobeerd met andere thunderbolt kabels maar ook deze werken niet, aan wat zou het probleem kunnen liggen?

Apple Wireless Keyboard: Batteries corroded & stuck inside Apple Wireless Keyboard (Aluminum)

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 22:07:14 -0700

The Apple Wireless Keyboard (Aluminum) uses three AA batteries. One of the AA batteries in my keyboard is stuck inside due to corrosion. I've managed to strip down most of the keyboard, but I'm stuck with the final C-clip that is deep inside and I haven't got any tool to undo the C-clip. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

Apple Thunderbolt Display: How can I fix my display blacking out intermittently?

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 22:13:09 -0700

I've had the Apple Thunderbolt Display for a little more than a year, and it has started to intermittently go black for a few seconds at a time. When it does, I usually lose connection to my usb devices connected through the display. If I let it go on, it blanks more and more frequently until the system kernel panics.

So far, I've tried cleaning the contacts with rubbing alcohol. This made them more visually attractive, but did not solve the problem.

Second, I tried using another macbook pro, but it had the same issue.

I've noticed that the thunderbolt connector heats up significantly when it's in use. I'm wondering if there's a heat-related issue that could be causing a broken connection in the electronics inside the connector. Any thoughts?

AirPort Time Capsule A1470: Time Capsule is overheating w/yellow flashing light

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 10:30:01 -0700

Has anyone successfully repaired a Time Capsule that's overheating all the time? The yellow light is always flashing and when I pull up AirPort Utility it says "this device may be overheating." The device does feel warm to the touch (not hot). I've called Apple and they say they can't fix it and won't replace it since it's not under warranty any longer. I'm considering cracking it open to see if cleaning out dust and whatnot might improve air circulation and fix the problem, but I'm curious if anyone else has done this before?

Apple MagSafe2 Power Adapter: Is there any known way to test Mag-Safe adapters

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 18:42:11 -0700

I’d like to be able to tell if I have a bad Mag-Safe adapter or if I need to look at the computer. I know they fail, as I have a box full of failed ones. It would be nice to tell first if my power source is working correctly. Anybody know how?

You would think there would be some type of testing software.

Magic Mouse 2: Fixing Magic Mouse 2 which stopped working on some normal surfaces

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 06:35:56 -0700

Hi,

Up until yesterday everything was fine, my Apple Magic Mouse 2 was working correctly on all surfaces.

Suddenly, the Magic mouse has stopped working on most regular surfaces and almost all fabrics (moving the mouse may move the cursor a little bit on these surfaces).

It does work on a transparent nylon, a very soft fabric (EDIT: 100% polyester) and on a leather couch and a specific part of my bare knee. (everything else like touch gestures works).

What is the reason for this? the optical sensor?

I already tried cleaning the optical sensor with a cloth, connecting it to another mac and removing the mouse preferences files with no luck.

Thanks :)

Apple Studio Display XDR: Anyone know yet if the stand can be removed and swapped to VESA?

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 17:42:55 -0700

Buying the VESA version of this monitor seems like a bad deal since it's the same price as getting it with the fancy stand. I would like to buy it with the stand so I have the stand, then switch to VESA (even if that means taking it to Apple to have it done). Anyone know yet if that is possible?

Apple Cinema HD Display: Large Yellow Bar Running Vertically

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 11:21:09 -0700

I purchased this display used, and I haven't had any problems with it until recently. A thick, faint yellow line has been showing up vertically through my screen. Restarting and unplugging hasn't worked. After it's been on a while, sometimes it will disappear, but lately—it's been staying all work day. Does anyone know what's causing this? Photos below!

Photo #1: Screen with yellow line issue.

Photo #2: Original cord has electrical tape on wire. (I bought it like this.)

THANKS!

Apple AC Adapter: Magsafe LED not illuminating when using MagSafe 1 to MagSafe 2 adapter

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 17:36:59 -0700

I currently have an Apple MagSafe 2 Charger 85W and I use it with my 2015 MacBook Pro 15. I also have an Apple MagSafe 1 Charger 85W and I want to use it with my MacBook Pro. I purchased the MagSafe 1 to MagSafe 2 adapter to use it but for some reason, the charge LED does not light up when I attach it to my computer. But for some reason, the computer reports that it is charging despite all the fields being blanked out in the system information tab. I tried switching orientations on both the MagSafe adapter and the MagSafe cable itself but that didn't seem to fix anything.

I know that the MagSafe 1 charger works as the light illuminates when I use my older 2012 MacBook Pro and 2010 MacBook Air.

Is the light supposed to illuminate when using the adapter or is my adapter defective? I tried to clean both the MagSafe 1 plug and both sides of the adapter and the MagSafe port with isopropyl alcohol but that didn't seem to fix things.
