SVGA wiring help

[rick82]

I've looked everywhere on the net for these diagrams which i can find but they do not correspond to the colours coming out of the cable.

 

Could someone tell me which of these wires go into what pins.

 

I will post a pic in the next post as i cannot post a pic with my first post. Try saying that after a few ha..

 

Thanks

You can post pics in the same thread you know...

There is no 1 standard for what colours may be used in a vga cable.

 

The red, blue & green mini coax will be obvious but the rest won't

 

You will have to get a pinout diagram and list of the pins then use a continuity checker on your particular cable.

 

I've had 2 cables from the same supplier before using the same colour of wires but they wen't to different pins.

How will i be able to tell what colour are the various pins eg Horizontal Sync/Vertical Sync etc...

 

There is nothing on the pcb in the monitor to indicate what the various pins are?

not on your first ever post..

The pins are labelled at least the first and last on a row are, using that and a diagram with listing of the pins and a multimeter you can do a continuity check to work it out.

 

Allthough it depends on what exactly you are trying to wire this cable up to?

I can't see any labeling on any of the pins? I know the R, G, B thick wires go into pin 1, 2, 3 and the earths on those wires go into 6, 7, 8 but the other 6 thin wires i don't know?

 

Basically the connection in the cable end which plugs into the graphics card was broken so i cut the connector off an bought another but when i wired it to a new plug i didn't get any signal. i tried to see what the existing wiring was on the old connector but all the wires was pulled out.
