Monitor cable Dsub to 23 pin
« on: December 24, 2003, 08:42:49 PM »
Hi all,
Could someone please assist me to find the correct colour to pin numbers for my  monitor lead.
I have got this lead off Ebay but when received; it was faulty, it was home built and looks a mess. I need a proper guide to solder it correctly.
Thanx

This the cable I bought, its not a scart. I know very little about the technical stuff, but I can do a bit of soldering. Its this lead that has the 9 pin D side and the 23 pin D and all I want to know is what colours go to what numbers. I think the above info should suffice, thank you.

Thanx so much for your help, I am getting there, and will let you know of my successful outcome.
I'll have a go after eating this big bird.

Cheers Pete

BTW I have 3 PC's and 3 Amiga's here in two rooms. I don't know why I bother with the old stuff, but its nostalgia I suppose, I had some good times in my Amiga days and like to re-live some of the past.
My Mrs thinks the house is a mess because of all the computer guts all over the place, but I'm afraid my computers come before my Mrs

Ok, I sorted it and the cable works fine now, but just as expected there is a fault with the monitor. (There is no Green) This fault is NOT caused by the cable; as I have a bran new factory built cable and its still red.

Can you please tell me if this problem is DIY repairable, because if I take it in; it will cost me £30 in labour, a £20 deposit and then parts.
