Well done video. I may have mentioned this before but Hugh's videos always stand out to me because of how he takes the time to clean as well as instruct on cleaning products.

The fact that they used a label off of a "having fun" lube packaging for blocking the camera makes it even more gross imo.

So it is possible to use this old display on USB C/Thunderbold 3 Mac eh? Thanks for the information, I thought this monitor only works with Thunderbolt 2 Macs. Since actually it's not that hard to find this Thunderbold Display for cheap nowadays in marketplace, thank you for the information, I might go with this display instead of studio display that cost a lot.

People are lazy. Look on Market Place with how many items are on sale that 'just need a clean'. Most of these things are disgusting, but if the seller spent 20 minutes cleaning it, they could ask probably 2x more than they would get for it filthy. In some cases, they'd be able to sell it.

I think the reason some of the dust has accumulated on the magnets is because cigarette smoke can contain some metallic elements, and a long time exposure to that metallic smoke/dust will cause the magnets to pick some of it up

Tip from a windowcleaner. Everthing that involves cigarette smoke and nicotine fallout can easily be removed with a mixture of 20/80 spray bottle ammonia/demineralised water.

The thunderbolt connection on the board is really fascinating and makes sense that it's a hub for the ports on the back. I didn't know they came with FireWire ports either

Air compressors are awesome for blowing out even the toughest sticky dust.

I got one off gumtree along with some other broken MacBooks as broken and I just replaced the wire and it worked fine. Sounds amazing and can connect any usbc thunderbolt devices with great image display. Good find.

Great job breaking down the Thunderbolt Display. Just picked one up at a yard sale for extremely cheap... thankfully in pristine condition. I had fun watching what I didn't have to do but might need to know one day anyway.

Hey man great stuff I love these monitors too!! I've been refurbing them as well, really good work on getting it back into shape!

I'm with you on this, I always clean anything that I'm selling, wouldn't dream of selling dirty kit.

Love this monitor. Have had time now for 10 years. Still works perfectly. I used to use it on my 2015 15" MBP, which was a perfect connection. Now, I'm using it with my 2022 16" MBP, which means you need a thunderbolt 2 -> thunderbolt 3 (usb-c) adapter. Apple sells one. This also means, you cannot use the MagSafe charger anymore, which is one of the cables. But all in all, I still love it. I'd like the newer one. But they've bumped up the price way too much while not adding more features like more hz and a bigger screen.

This was really satisfying to watch. Even more so than the usual ones. :)

i have the previous version of this display, the LED Cinema Display. which is more versatile than the Thunderbolt one on my opinion as it has MiniDP instead of Thunderbolt. i got it over ebay for a very low price and it survived overseas shipping thanks to the seller's judicious use of bubble wrap and foam, and the display was great, all clean and nice. so theres still people who do care to clean their stuff before selling it.

That manual air blower looks like more powerful than I was thinking. How does it stuck up aganist a classic air compressor for the pressure it can generate with a single jet of air?

I have two Thunderbolt displays on my main workstation at the office. They are fine screens, however over time they do develop some "weathering" in the display. It's subtle but noticeable when the screen is showing all white. Regardless of this, I still love them and will use them until they quit. Thanks for giving this poor abused and neglected screen you bought some much-deserved love, Hugh!

If the led panel goes (or is fading) you can still buy the same LG panels brand new from Aliexpress. My then almost 10 year-old TB display blinked out suddenly one day - I still had power and data so took a punt that it was just the led panel. Including shipping it was c.A$300 (approx US.$220 at the time). Between iFixit and a couple of tear downs on KZread for reference I did the swap myself. (Keep your old panel and hardware handy, you’ll need to transfer several bits from it to the new one.) These monitors may be old now but the picture quality is still superb and the utility (Ethernet, USB, Thunderbolt and laptop charging) makes them unmatched for a Mac user for under $500.

Good tip with the Ajax. Going to try that on a gross MacBook I’ve acquired.

Nice clean 💪

I work in the IT department at my college and my boss still uses one of those Apple Thunderbolt Displays. Theirs however has some kind of electrical issue (probably with the power supply or power delivery over Thunderbolt) which causes their laptop to crash randomly when connected and also occasionally shock them or spark. They're great monitors but it feels like there's a lot more that can go wrong with them than others.

Cigarette smoke. Years ago worked in an space where there were some private offices. The walls were those cheap one with metal studs instead of 2 X 4s. The ceiling panels continued over the walls and were not cut to fit at the wall. We had a renovation and the wall came down. The smokers ceilings panels were yellow right up to the form wall. The panels that went over the wall, were yellow on one side and white on the other. Funny thing, one guy died of cancer while still working. The other, my boss got Emphysema.

Thank you!

@ahothabeth

The RJ45 signal is passed to the computer via ThunderBolt; so when connected to a laptop, which might not have Ethernet, one can have a wired connection. In short; one can have everything connected to the monitor and just plug the ThunderBolt and MagSafe in the laptop. Neat.

1:11 It reminds me of the brand new to the market in the year 2022 1600 USD Studio Display.

I have a question, could you attach a logic board of one iPhone to another model of iPhone and have the new iPhone think it’s the original that the board is from?

A couple of questions sir: Do you find the screw heads are chewed up by using such a small screw driver and your wrist constantly changing the direction of drive? Is there a certain order that you do the screws up in, to avoid warped PCBs or to avoid putting twisting/torsional flex in the boards? Cheers man

Hey good day bro, do you know how to fix a mac book pro 2012 13' when it doesn't power on and doesn't accept charge? Not even the charger lights (with a new charger as well).

Still rocking two 30 inch cinema displays. only downside is the 2 adapters needed to get it to displayport XD

I love ur vids.

I bought one of these couple weeks ago but when I started using it I realised it had no sound . So I opened it up and found out that the speakers had been taken out and the seller did not mention this so I returned it.

at that size at 27 inch and resolution of 2560x1440, this is still perfect, good display quality and good speaker quality.

What size screwdriver is used for the last two screw under the circuit board to unplug the thunderbolt cord? I got all the way to that last step and couldn’t complete it because those two screws were slightly smaller.

Would love to see a video converting these to a single usb-c cord for charging, picture, sound, and usb in the back.

Nice video, even though I moved on from Apple Cinema Display to the new Studio display at home I am still using another Cinema Display at the office connected to a PC laptop. Nothing compares to Apple build quality on their monitors.

Tip: you can also use a Thunderbolt 2 Thunderbolt 2 cable when the attached cable is broken. At least between two Apple 27 inch Thunderbolt displays in my setup. But it should work on connecting it to a Mac as welll.

I use to sell stuff on eBay and I always cleaned everything as best I could before I shipped it out.

I have one of those VGA CRT monitors.

Have your tried eucalyptus spray and magic wipes? they work wonders

When removing nicotine, I always use a solution of water/ammonia/methylated spirit and maybe a little detergent. Works really good (also for cleaning windows btw).

Great presentations you have! I suggest though that you mention the screw driver sizes while doing it so that one can prepare. Also what power cable do I have to order would be nice to know before I start. You know what you know most people do not know.

Isopropanol works fine for removing cigarette dust and especially cleaning apples cables. They look brand new after that. Just take a towel and the cable with one hand and pull the cable in both directions with the other hand.
