Repair Issues

Caution: Out of the box, the Studio Display (21" CRT) weighs 77 pounds (35 kg). Use caution when lifting or moving the display. To move it, lift it by the hand grips on the bottom of the display. It is recommended that two people lift the monitor together.

The new exterior design features of this display include a two-color translucent housing, a tripod monitor stand, and a VGA-style video cable with a VGA-to-Macintosh adapter.

Protecting the Translucent Housing

Important: Because the housing of this monitor is made of translucent plastic, surface scratches can be more visible than on a standard plastic housing. To avoid cosmetic damage and protect the housing during service procedures, please keep in mind the following precautions:

• Use a protective pad that is clean and free of debris whenever you service the display.

• Use caution working with metal tools to avoid scratching the housing.

• Before placing the display face down on a book or ream of paper, ensure the surface provides protection from scratches.

New Tripod Stand Safety Tips

Because this is a new design, keep in mind the following:

Caution: Lift the display by the hand grips under the left and right sides of the display. Never lift the display by the tripod stand.

Caution: Do not adjust the position of the monitor by pushing or pulling the stand legs. The tripod stand is subject to cracking or breakage if mishandled.

±Warning: When placing the monitor on a table surface, ensure that all three legs on the tripod stand contact the surface. If one of the legs is too close to the table edge, the weight of the monitor could cause the display to fall off the edge.

USB Display Service Utility, version 2.1.2

In February 2000 version 2.1.2 of the USB Display Service Utility was introduced. The main difference between this version and earlier versions is the addition of PowerBook (FireWire) compatibility.

Important: Destroy previous versions of the USB Display Service Utility. To avoid loss of data, use only the latest version of the USB DSU. Refer to the Read Me file for more information. You can access the Read Me file and the latest version of the USB Display Service Utility from the Service Diagnostics page from Service Source Online.

±Warning: If you plan to use a PowerBook (FireWire) to download setup parameters, refer to “When the Second Display is a PowerBook (FireWire)” in the Adjustments chapter. You must follow that procedure to avoid loss of data or functionality.

Apple Displays Software, version 1.8

In August 1999 version 1.8 of the Apple Displays Software was released. One of the main differences from previous versions (1.7.1 and earlier) is the name of a control panel.

The Monitors & Sound control panel (in versions 1.7.1 and earlier), used for some screen adjustments, is now called the Monitors control panel in version 1.8 and later. The features of the Monitors control panel are the same as the old Monitors & Sound control panel, except audio controls now have their own separate Sound control panel.

References in this manual that previously specified the Monitors & Sound control panel, now specify the Monitors control panel.

New Version of CRT/Video Board

In November 1999, a new version of the CRT/video board was released. The new version was necessary to handle a discontinuation of a board component. Adding a different manufacturer’s component required a somewhat different board layout.

Important: Version 2 (Apple part number 661-2231) is not backward compatible with Version 1 (Apple part number 661-2116). Before replacing a CRT/video board, you must verify its version and exchange boards like for like.

For details on identifying the two boards, refer to the section “Two Versions of the CRT/Video Board” in the Troubleshooting chapter.

Canada Repair Strategy

The service strategy for the Studio Display (21" CRT) is module replacement. However, sometimes replacing modules may not resolve the issue. For those issues, whole-unit replacements are available. To limit “no fault found” returns on the unit, please use the following procedure when you require a whole-unit replacement:

1Troubleshoot the unit to ensure the problem is not with the software or with the computer.

2After confirming the issue is with the display, refer to Service Source Online or the Service Price Pages to order the modules necessary to repair the display.

3If the module necessary is not available, or you require a whole-unit replacement, call Technical Service Provider Support (TSPS) at 1-800-217-9517. Have

5Use AppleOrder to place the order for the whole-unit service replacement by manually populating the Part Number field with the part number given to you by the TSPS. Then mark the order for review, and put the Vantive case number in the Comments field. Failure to do so will result in your order being declined.

6When you receive the whole-unit service replacement, return the old display as you would any service module.

Apple Studio Display with ColorSync Technology

Features

Exceptional display quality

21-inch (19.8-inch viewable image size) Sony Trinitron CRT

Aperture grille technology for vivid colors and sharp text

Vertically flat screen for reduced glare

Stunning design

Elegant translucent case that matches Apple’s latest Power Macintosh G3 computers

Storage space under the display for your keyboard

Four-port USB hub for connecting peripherals

Built-in color calibration

Uses industry-standard ColorSync color management technology

Ensures consistent, accurate color over the lifetime of the monitor

Saves production time by creating accurate output with fewer trials

Easy access to powerful software controls

Single-button access to the familiar Macintosh Monitors & Sound control panel

Intuitive control over all screen adjustments

Color is indispensable to today’s computer applications, whether you’re producing magazines, creating business presentations, or designing multimedia materials.

The Apple Studio Display with ColorSync technology is an uncompromising monitor that provides accurate color for every situation. It combines lifetime color calibration with outstanding visual performance and a stunning appearance—all for little more than competitive monitors without those features.

The first thing you’ll notice about this Apple Studio Display is its striking appearance. Its elegant translucent enclosure and sleek design complements Apple’s newest Power Macintosh G3 systems and is also highly functional. It includes a four-port Universal Serial Bus (USB) hub, and its unique stand has room underneath to store your keyboard.

The Apple Studio Display with ColorSync technology uses a 21-inch (19.8-inch viewable image size) Trinitron CRT to deliver vivid colors and sharp text. The cylindrical design of this CRT creates a vertically flat screen that minimizes glare. The end result is a monitor that’s a pleasure to view and to work with.

But the most important feature of the Apple Studio Display with ColorSync technology is its superior color accuracy—and its ability to maintain that accuracy over its lifetime. Using a patented internal measurement system, the monitor adjusts its electron beam as time passes to maintain the precise calibrations made at the factory. It can also compensate for changes in the ambient light. And because it stores its own ColorSync profiles, it can exchange accurate color information with the other devices in your production process, creating color consistency that directly translates into fewer trial-and-error stages when you output color documents.

The Apple Studio Display makes it easy to meet your specific needs and to compensate for changes in environmental conditions. A button on the display brings up the familiar Macintosh Monitors & Sound control panel on your computer, giving you powerful yet intuitive software control over all screen adjustments.

With its large screen, crisp Trinitron performance, ready-to-use USB ports, built-in color calibration, and elegant design, the Apple Studio Display with ColorSync technology is the complete monitor for demanding applications.
