    • Before starting, make sure the display is unplugged.

    • Place the Cinema Display so that it is lying on its face and the feet are pointed away from you.

    • Remove the three screws (9.52 x 4.43mm) that connect the back foot to the hinge using the Hex Key.

    • Remove the back foot from the hinge mount by grabbing the foot and pulling upwards.

    Mine had hex head screws instead of Phillips head.

    • Remove the eighteen (5.25 x 4.43 mm) screws around the edge of the backplate using the Hex key.

    • Disconnect the small white connector leading to the display's Power button.

    • Gently lift the backplate off of the display. Completely remove the backplate and set it aside.

    AND: Shall we mention right here, there is a small white connector leading to the display's POWER button that should be disconnected to slide the back plate off.

    • Unplug the large brown plug in the center-right, that connects the control board to the rest of the display.

    • Unplug the blue and gray plug on the right side of the control board. Repeat with the left side.

    There are 2 Phillips screws at the center top and center bottom that need to be removed as well. They are parallel to the work surface if the screen is flat. The control board must be lifted slightly to access the screws. There's also a clip holding the disconnected power connector to the mechanisms below.

Brilliantly clear and simple to follow. As I suspected it was the inverter board that failed leaving me a totally black screen on my 20 year old 22 inch Cinema display (ADC). Your guide enabled me to restore the monitor to working order, and it’s now paired once again with my Apple cube. Thank you ever so much!
