I have my Apple Studio Display 17 that stopped displaying a picture
last
week. I did replace it with a 19" LCD display, so I'm not really
trying to
repair it.
However, I already had an Apple Studio Display 21 that stopped
working last
year. So, I have 2 of those big CRTs taking space and I was
wondering what
to do with them. I'm pretty sure that the problem is with the power
supply
and somebody more experienced with televisions and CRTs might be
able to
repair them.
I'm not looking to repair them, just to get rid of them. I was
thinking that
I could maybe offer them on the LEM-Swap list.
Probably not worth it. Even repaired, they're not worth the cost of
shipping them; perhaps you can find a home for them locally. But
there's a huge glut of CRT's out there.
We have two different charitable organizations here that refurb
computers; both are now telling people they no longer accept CRT
monitors unless they're coming with the whole computer, and if they
could just have the computer, pretty please...
This is a serious problem, these things are toxic in landfills and
very expensive to recycle.
If you have a local freecycle group <http://www.freecycle.org/> you
might get someone to take it off your hands...
