Thanks for the suggestion Bruce. Yes, I tried the power bricks from two
other 23-inch monitors on the dead one, hoping to wake it up, but they
failed to bring it to life. The little on light remains dark, along with
the screen.

I have a G5 running 10.5.8 with two 23 cinema displays attached. Or I did.
Yesterday one of the two displays just suddenly went dark, like blowing out
a candle. Nothing I could do would bring it back, so I have to assume it's
dead and gone. (If anyone has any thoughts about why this happened,
InterestingŠ Have you tried a PMU and a PRAM reset?

Apart from resetting the PRAM, I could think of some other things--others
may correct me:
1. Look for Display Preferences in User/Library/Preferences and delete the
file (I don't know the name) or move it out of the folder

I don't know what a capacitor looks like, Kris. But I'll do a little
research and try to learn. Maybe it can be replaced. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the help everybody, on both how to make the Mac forget the
imaginary monitor and how to troubleshoot the real but dead one.
I zapped the PRAM, and it fixed the problem. Now the Mac knows it only has
one monitor connected to it.
Alex first sent me the suggestion to zap the PRAM, and
Well at least you got the G5 sorted. IMHO, the monitor will need a recap. If
you don't have much experience soldering, I would ask a friend. If you can't
find capacitors with the same value, you can go up in voltage. Good luck!

Silly question, have you checked the power brick? I ask this
