I have a cute litle 12 inch moniter, but there is a problem, well 2 problems, it is a serial (male) and is mising 3 pins from the adpter. I was wondering if you could splice the moniter end and put a VGA(female) on it(though I doubt this because of the # of wire difference) IR if there is something I can buy he will convert M serial to F VGA? and if I can do that, would it be easy to replace the missing pins in he serial end of the cord?

input is nice,

ViperGet yourself down to Maplin and find a guy with a beard. The bigger the beard the better. Then prepare to bask in his glow of electronics enlightenment.

You should be able to buy the various bits you need for your project there, too.Maplin? *is confuesd* where is this? lol

P.s.

whoa, when did I become a beginner? w00t Maplin is a shop in UK and Ireland,

Its Pretty Good at all sorts of Electric Hard ware
It it one of them Old Green and Black EGA moniters? you might need some old Drivers then

Also If you Find The Fat Guy With the Beard thats even Better!

and how Dare you have more Posts than I , I am the The only Supper N00b Here and Ive been here longer too Meany you could just take a really tiny screw driver and bend the pins BACK into place... i did that with my primary monitor, which my dad found in a box in the back of a van that was rusting away in a junk yard near our HOUSE, works fine, but the monitor flicks off and on from just alittle vibration... i think its just the age of the monitor, its a 1996 NEC MultiSync XV17+... that and the fact that it was sitting in a van in the middle of a junk yard for god knows how long...Dead , that not quite the problem, See his monitor Is a 9PIN D connector, where as VGA is 15pin D, and the NEW ones DVI well there... eh Number++ D connectorsah... well in out of ideas for now then...
