Why hello everybody. I'm new around these woods, although I've visted many times looking for answers.
So I've got a question for someone here who hopefully knows something about this. I have two of these monitors; one is in a fairly decent case with little yellowing (but alotta scuff marks that can hopefully be scrubbed off) but with alot of burn-in on the screen, and then another one with a really yellowed, cracked, horrible case but still a nice picture. So what I planned on doing is transplanting the guts so I could have a fairly nice case with the nice picture, and then just get rid of the crappy one (although I hate the idea of throwing out old Apple stuff...but it's just so crappy). But, one problem is the little board that has the adjustment knobs on the back on the guts with the good picture is cracked so I wanted to switch that with the other one. So far I've de-soldered the 5 wires from the cracked board and removed it, and then I went to do the same to the good board so I could transplant it, but I noticed it was slightly different. It has a 6th tiny brown soldered wire. So I looked at the label on the back of the cases and I noticed they were different models. The good picture one is the older M0401, while the one I wanna trash (but has the other wire on that little board I wanna keep) is the newer M1297. And the label on the side of the chassis of the older one says it's model CRZ-700, while the newer one is CRZ-700A.
Here's a picture of the two boards. The left one is the cracked one from the good screen, and the right one is the good board on the crappy screen. The little brown wire is just to the right of the yellow connector and below it you can see where it connects to the other board.
So, does anybody know if it would still work without that wire (since the good one doesn't have that coming off the main rear board), or if I'm just screwed? Any help would be very much appreciated as this is the first time I've gone this deep into something!
Thanks!
