AppleVision 1710 Display: Requires Video Signal for Power (1/97)

I have had my AppleVision 1710 Display replaced twice already, and neither unit powers on. I have been testing the displays before I connecting them to my Macintosh. Is there something wrong with the AppleVision 1710 Displays?


Both the AppleVision 1710 Display and the AppleVision 1710AV Display require a video signal before powering on. Since you have not been connecting them to your Macintosh, the power LED hasn't been activated.

To properly test the AppleVision 1710 Display, you need to connect the video cable to your computer, connect the ADB cable from your Macintosh to the display, in order to get resolutions greater than 640x480, and power on your computer and display.
