Apple Display Connector to DVI Adaptor.

[Gus]

So the led keeps doing this very annoying thing where it flashes twice then a longer flash. Don't know what causes this. But I've tried just DVI pin 14 to ADC pin 3. Then just DVI pin 16 to ADC pin 3. Then Removed ADC pin 3. Still doing it! No idea how to make it stop. Any suggestions?


EDIT: Read this apple page it would appear to be a power problem. If the problem does not occur when using the higher rated power supply then I can tell you that the iBook power supply is not suitable to drive a 20inch display. Unless you want to open the display and disconnect the led/cover it up or something.

Been using it for about 10 minutes now on the higher rated supply (100W 24V 4A) I think the key here is that the iBook only has a rating of 2A max. The display says it should draw 60W.

Happy again!
Will update first post warning of this.

Wow, that was quite a bit of work to use a crummy old display.

Yeah but I didn't/don't have enough monies to get one of the newer DVI, minidisplayport or thunderbolt displays.
Plus it is just entertaining making stuff like this.
