I want to do this: http://arcadecontrols.com/arcade_pc2arcade.html Monitor is WG 25k7197 |

All you need to do is find an old VGA cable and modify it, no soldering required. The ones I sell connect directly to your monitor, no messing around needed, plug and play. But it's not too hard to make your own if you have a set of terminal pin crimpers. |

I do have multiple cables laying around. How would one go about modifying one? |
| Nephasth:
Cut one end off. Strip the insulation off. Pinout the wires to find out which ones you need. And if you don't have the parts to build a connector for the monitor, you can solder the wire ends to the header, or if you have the old harness from the cabinet, splice the old monitor connector into the vga cable. |

Well, now I have a new problem that has got me worried. Last night when we tried this, we managed to make a green screen on the monitor. My fiancee's brother messed around with the control knobs and sometimes the screen would go completely black almost as if it were off. When the monitor was unplugged from the computer, it turned grey and black... Right now, I can not get it to display anything at all even though it was working fine before we adjusted the knobs last night. I am so frustrated now... I thought this would be completed three days ago. Can anyone try to help me with the newest monitor problem? |
