EEPROM Settings
Caution: To prevent data loss or corruption, always save
EEPROM settings before you replace the microprocessor
board. (See next page.)
See Troubleshooting for instructions on saving the EEPROM
settings from the old microprocessor board and restoring
the settings on the new microprocessor board.
If the settings are lost before they can be written to the new
EEPROM, the display will be impossible to repair, and the
whole display will need to be replaced.

General
The Symptom Charts included in this chapter will help you
diagnose specific symptoms related to your product. Because cures
are listed on the charts in the order of most likely solution, try
the first cure first. Verify whether or not the product continues to
exhibit the symptom. If the symptom persists, try the next cure.
(Note: If you have replaced a module, reinstall the original module
before you proceed to the next cure.)
If you are not sure what the problem is, or if the Symptom Charts
do not resolve the problem, refer to the Flowchart for the product
family.
For additional assistance, contact Apple Technical Support.
First Checklist - 2
First Checklist
Important:
54% of the Apple Multiple Scan 17 Display modules
returned for repair are found to be fully operational. Read this
checklist before you return a module. Prevent needless module
replacement and unnecessary time delays.
The Apple Multiple Scan 17 Display is not
fully compatible with all Macintosh
computers and PowerBooks.
If you suspect a loss of functionality, especially with the number
of screen resolutions available (in Control Panels), check the
Tech Info Library or contact Apple Technical Support.
First Checklist - 3
The CRT raster will not always resemble a
perfect rectangle.
CRT tolerances allow for some distortion. Additional distortion can
be caused by magnetized metal objects (desks, file cabinets, etc.).
Move the unit to a different location if you notice raster bowing or
bent raster edges.
Jitter, faint lines, or screen movement can be
caused by external interference such as
electronic devices and fluorescent lights.
Move the unit to another room or building to help determine if
external interference is the source of the problem.
First Checklist - 4
A misadjusted screen can mimic the
symptoms of deflection board or CRT
failures.
By performing the adjustment procedures, you might determine if
one or more of the adjustments is the cause of the problem.
CRTs rarely fail.
Needless CRT replacements can be prevented by checking display
adjustments, checking the possibility of other defective modules,
and accepting small imperfections in screen display.
If you have any doubts about whether a CRT is defective, contact
Apple Technical Support.
Display Setting Restoration/Connect the Hardware - 5
Display Setting Restoration
Each Multiple Scan 17 Display has an EEPROM (located on the
microprocessor controller board) that contains adjustment
information specific to that monitor. Before you replace the
microprocessor board, save this EEPROM information.
Use MacTest Pro Display Setting Restore Utility to preserve the
monitor adjustment settings.
Connect the Hardware
There are two ways to connect the hardware to use the MacTest Pro
Display Setting Restore Utility:
1
Connect a serial cable (MINI DIN-8) between the
malfunctioning display and a separate computer running
MacTest Pro. Use either the modem port or the printer port
on the computer. (If you use the printer port, AppleTalk
Display Setting Restoration/Connect the Hardware - 6
must be turned off). Also connect a power cable to the display.
Advantage:
You do not have to shut down the host computer
or quit MacTest Pro to complete the repair.
Disadvantage:
This method requires a separate host
computer (with display).
2
Connect the display as usual, using a video cable and power
cable. Also, connect a serial cable (MINI DIN-8) between the
display and either the modem or printer port on the
computer.
Advantage:
This method lends itself to on-site repair; the
display under repair is the only display required.
Disadvantage:
Since the microprocessor board on the display
needs to be replaced, the display may not be working well
enough to view this utility in MacTest Pro.
Display Setting Restoration/Save the EEPROM Information - 7
Another disadvantage is that after creating the data file from
the old EEPROM, you must quit MacTest Pro and shut down
the computer to install the new EEPROM.
Save the EEPROM Information
To save information from the old EEPROM, create a data file:
1
Start MacTest Pro.
2
Choose “Apple Multiple Scan 17 Display.”
3
Select “Test.”
4
Click “Create File.”
Install the Microprocessor Board
See Take Apart for instructions on installing the new
microprocessor board.
Display Setting Restoration/Restore the EEPROM Information -
After the new microprocessor board is installed, the new EEPROM
will have default settings that allow you to read the display, but
with difficulty. When the settings from the old EEPROM are
transferred to the new EEPROM, the display should be clear and
the last color temperature mode chosen restored.
Restore the EEPROM Information
To download the saved adjustment information to the new EEPROM,
1
Start MacTest Pro.
2
Choose “Apple Multiple Scan 17 Display.”
3
Select “Test.”
4
Click “Write File.”
Display Setting Restoration - 9
Caution:
Make certain that you are aware of the following
important information about the EEPROM data file. If data is lost
or corrupted, you will have to return the display to Apple for
repair.
• Make sure that the data in the saved file is written back to the
display used to create the file. Each display is unique, so
writing the wrong data to a display may cause severe
adjustment problems.
• Make sure that the data file is deleted after writing the data
back to the display. This erasure ensures that data from one
display is not accidentally written to another.
• Do not delete the new data file before it’s written to the new
EEPROM. If the file is lost before the data can be written to the
new EEPROM, the repair will be impossible to complete and the
whole display will need to be returned.
CRT - 10
CRT
If the monitor shuts down shortly after powering up, follow this
procedure to determine if the CRT is defective:
1
Refer to Take Apart to remove the monitor stand, remove the
rear cover, discharge the CRT, remove the EMI shield.
2
With the power off, insert a nonconductive shield (such as a
strip of plastic or cardboard) between the CRT/video board
and the main deflection board to shield both boards from
potential shorts.
3
Note:
Twisting, bending, or applying force to the CRT/video
board could damage the neck of the CRT. Be sure to pull the
CRT/video board straight off the CRT.
Loosen the mounting screw on the neck clamp.
4
Without disconnecting any cables, pull the CRT/video board
straight off the neck of the CRT (about 3/4 inch) until the
board disconnects from the pins.
CRT - 11
5
Rest the CRT/video board on the nonconductive shield.
6
Connect the monitor to a computer.
7
Plug in the power cable and turn on the monitor.
• If the power indicator light stays on, the CRT is defective.
• If the monitor shuts down immediately or after a few
seconds, replace the main deflection board.

Replace main deflection board, and without disconnecting
microprocessor board, check its revision level.
Important:
On the component side of the board, look for a white
mark on the upper left corner and a 9-digit number that ends in
-11, -12, or -13.
If you see “-12” and a white mark or “-13” and no white
mark, you have an updated board. No board replacement required.
If you see “-11” or “-12” and no white mark, replace the
microprocessor board with an updated board after downloading
settings as described in “Display Setting Restoration” in this
chapter.
Caution:
To prevent data loss or corruption, always save
EEPROM settings before you replace the microprocessor board.

Thin horizontal lines
on screen
Displays larger than 15 inches with tron-style CRTs typically
have two wires, each about one-quarter to one-third of the way
from the top and bottom of the display image. These supporting
wires, which are thinner than a human hair, stabilize the
aperture grill against shocks. The lines are common to all tron-
style displays and are not screen defects. The lines cannot be
adjusted out or eliminated by repairing or replacing modules in
the display.
