Interesting display problem

[jnordness]

My 23-15 pin adapter from Vesalia came in yesterday, so today I hooked it up to my A2000 and my 1950 monitor, and it wouldn't boot. The monitor was doing something, since that annoying high-pitched squeal got lower when I turned the computer on, but was not displaying anything. So I disconnect the monitor from the adapter, reset it, and it boots up fine!!! I am currently running wb1.3. Whats going on here?

Thanks for the leads. However, I still don't understand why it causes the computer to not boot up with the monitor plugged in. I hope it's something simple, cause I spent a lot of money on this stuff...

I will try the adapter out on my 1000 I have boxed up before I try anything else. I'm starting to think the power supply in my 2000 is going bad, because ever since I hooked this damn adapter to it, the hard drive hasn't been spinning up all of the way. I still have it hooked to the 2091 power line, so I will use the line directly from the power supply to give it some more juice. When it rains, it pours. (or in my case, poors)

Thanks Zac. I think the adapter not having resistors has something to do with it, but I just got done testing the 1950 on my A1000, and on my main computer again. Nothing. When my main computer starts to post, it sounds like the monitor is getting a signal (the high pitched noise gets quieter) but after a couple of seconds goes right back to displaying nothing. So it looks like the monitor is shot. I hope the place I got it will help me out with this, because they said it worked fine.
