Hi everybody,
I have a beautiful blue and white Apple Studio Display with VGA connector. After not using it for about one or two years and storing it in a slightly damp (not wet) room for some of that time, it refuses to work. When I power it up, it only shows a white (or bright gray) screen ( -> backlight works); there is no reaction when I press the buttons, there is also no OSD visible and there is also no reaction when I switch it to AV mode. I already tested it with a known-good power supply (from a fully functional Rev A model). Inside, I couldn't see any obvious cap leakage, loose connecters or other visible causes for the problem. My guess is that either some part of the video circuitry or the TFT itself is defective, while the rest is fully functional. In other words, I think that the problem is not related to the analog/video input part. I'm unsure if I experienced some intermittent behavior when I last used it in 2018/19.
Does anybody have an idea where the problem could be?
Many thanks!

Btw are they really that rare? The only rev b model currently on eBay is listed for $500.. But then we know eBay prices, don't we?
