Re: Studio Display Monitor Broken Hinge

[faithie999]

there's a mac guy who runs a shop in RI who often posts items for sale on 
the LEM swap list.  his handle is bensdad.  you might search LEMswap for 
that name and send him a PM to see if he has a bad display with a good 
stand.

Thanks Richard I agree. It is a small monitor but is heavy enough to put a lot 
of sheer stress on the small plastic neck that is only about 4mm x 10mm. --But 
I was looking for a good epoxy for a different project maybe JB Weld is the way 
to go.


I may take Brian's easel or Roger's  tripod suggestions and check out the local 
retail outlets for such a devices. The wall mount is out since I only use the 
monitor to check out newly acquired used Mac's. And as suggested I may place an 
ad in the local Craig's List or FreeCycle for a broken Studio Display but I 
don't think they are that common around here.


Most likely it will quicker an easier for me to just make some sort of easel or 
tripod like device from left over wood hanging around the shop. It won't be 
pretty but it should work. I thought since the support base on these monitors 
are fragile and prone to break from boneheads moves like the one I did that the 
replacement parts would be available.

Thanks for ALL the replies --glen

        Studio Display Monitor Broken Hinge
   


  

  This little Apple Studio Display M2454 monitor
has seen light use and has a lot of life left. It
has been attached to my Mac G4's for testing
purposes. In a really dumb move I broke the acrylic
stand connection to the monitor. I tried to super
glue it together but as you may guess that did not
work.
  
  
  
  
  It looks easy to replace the broken part but any
ideas where to get one. And what is it called. If I
were to post a WTB to the LEM Swap List I would not
know what to ask for. Perhaps there is a third party
parts dealer that won't charge more for the part
than the monitor is worth. Any ideas? Thanks, --glen
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  

  

  

tip:  My kid's desk has the paper slot for printers. I took the
monitor and stuck front legs in slot and put the broken rear leg
under middle to keep monitor from going all the way through. I have
the G5 tower behind it to help adjust angle. Maybe some thought at a
temp to solution will let you use it.

Re: Studio Display Monitor Broken Hinge

     JB Weld epoxy, if you can drill some tiny holes around the crack so that it can seep into the holes along the crack it should hold? I usually drill a couple lines of holes spaced out and staggered and I also drill the holes at different angles too. I can't see what you have so I can't tell you exactly how to drill the holes??? Then when it is hardened up for a couple days you can sand it and paint it to match the color of it!-Original Message-

Re: Studio Display Monitor Broken Hinge

[Roger Faulkner]

I have two and one had the same issue. Like you, I tried every variant of
glue but as you found out the connection points are just to tenuious to
hold.

My solution? Went to a local discount outlet and bought a small (in this
case wrought iron) 3-D tripod picture holder. One that allowed the monitor
bottom to nestle in the holder while the back adjustable leg gave
stability.

You might find something like this at a local art supply retail store. If
you find the right fit you might think about mounting it on a wall -- saves
desk space.

Good luck.
