Mac Mini to cinema display

[sswats]

Total noob to macs.
Got hold of a mac mini and a 20" cinema display.

The 20" cinema display does not seem to have a socket for power, it just has the little lead that would fit into the power socket of the mac mini.

A bit of googling and I found an "Apple Cinema Display 20-inch DVI Power Adapter 65 W" which looks like i can plug the screen into. But thats £90. And I dont even know if the screen itself works for me to fork out that much on one.

am i missing something? is there another way to power it up?

The 20" display comes with a power brick. Looks like someone didn't sell you one How much did you pay for it? These dispays normally go for about £250 or so last time I checked.

looks like this

Have you checked on ebay for any cheapy chinese bricks? It's a great screen, worth getting working. I've got one

Mac mini with 1.5 core solo & 2gb and 20" cinema display for £100.

I found cheap ones for £45, but as i said I'm not even sure the screen is working to fork out on one of them.

may take the risk though.

Take it to an Apple store and ask them to test it.

You shouldn't have to pay £90 for the power brick, they are much cheaper than that.

That's a bit of a bargain then. I take it it's the newer aluminium cinema display? Definitely get it tested.
