Can I use LVDS/eDP to drive macOS?.

@craighazan, the adapter is a Magsafe to USB-C PD adapter. It‘s only for power supply, but it works very good. The only disadvantage is, that it blocks a whole USB-C port and the MacBook Pro 13“ has only 2. But in combination with the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter the Thunderbolt Display works as good as with the older MacBook Pro from before 2016. I love this combination! :D

Regarding the Mighty Mouse, yes the scroll ball works perfectly. But Before I started using it again nearly 2 years ago, I disassembled the whole mouse and cleand all with Isopropanol alcohol. Since than I clean the ball every 3 - 4 months by rolling ball over a paper towel moistened with Isopropanol alcohol. Since I have found the Mighty Mouse again and use it daily, I don‘t miss my Magic Mouse anymore. :shifty:

Beautiful!, some bleed around the bottom left corner, but overall it's a very nice display. I was also under the impression that I would need to plug in the M1 MBA, but no its running off the battery.

Update: The bleed seems to have fixed itself, normal colors at the edges of the screen.

I think only in clam-shell mode (using with closed lid and external keyboard & mouse) a connected power supply is needed. :)

Yes!, I purchased it when I started my iMac mod. Installed it successfully on $2 2006 Intel iMac.

No 2006 iMac had a PPC G5 chip in it. The seller may have mis-represented what you got. Any way you can find an actual serial number on the iMac to check it online ? Just found it under the stand, I'll look it up now. I think he sent me the wrong iMac, the description said the screen doesn't...

From March of 2021 before the 24 inch M1 iMac was released that April.


A few minor problems. No access to any ports or the power button unless you remove the display.

Installing a M1 Mac mini inside a 27” iMac case is a cool idea, but comes with some sacrifices. The Thunderbolt Display just looks the part though, a chinless 27” display, stunning screen with rich colors and true black. I think this would make a better M1 iMac.
 
Could this work?. the pin def is 'USB 3.1 Gen 1 connector (20-1 pin U31G1_12). I would just have to plug in the adapter to the Thunderbolt Display.
