How to diagnose thunderbolt display?
Got my thunderbolt display completely black, nothing shows up on screen, no sound from speaker, no iCam, and it won’t charge my Macbook Pro laptop either (the charging light is not on at all). Is there a way to diagnose which component failed, PSU, logic board or thunderbolt cable itself?
Thanks for advise!

Hi Dan, here are the pictures I just took, the TB cable looks good physically. Unfortunately, I don’t have the separate TB a as available, but I can buy one if it is necessary. So, if I get the images showing up with the separate TB cable, does it mean the internal TB cable is bad? And if no images with that separate TB connected, which means the logic board is bad?
Cette question est-elle utile ?

I'm scared to think that this entire discussion took place in 2021 when just getting another Apple TB display can go for $100 off any secondhand market. Was the time spent here harassing Dan (who has nothing to do apparently) worth it? Let's assume you earn $100 in at least 4 hours working, which is way more than you committed to this post, how is this a justifiable use of time?

@applepoor - Its called COVID ;-{
FYI - A used display runs from $200 ~ 500 USD

it's not just about money, there is so much waste in the world, people throw away just about everything when most of it can be recycled/repaired.
What is the point of money in a world so polluted with waste that it becomes unlivable? Yes I can buy a new monitor but why when there are already millions out there second-hand that can do just as well for my needs.
I take in broken laptops, screens, PC's/macs, repair them then give them to those who cannot otherwise afford them.
I have seen people really excel from this and giving them a whole new lease of life, so yes, for me (And perhaps them too) its worth the time spent.
