Before I kill myself, can someone help me
vader:
I start off by saying, I am scared to death of monitors, but I have to do this......
Basically, I'm building a cocktail and the screen is inverted. I need to flip
the yoke wires, but am afraid of mucking around in there without knowing
what to stay away from. Which wires do do you swap ? Red/Blue and or
Yellow/Green . Thats pretty much it.....I attached a pic of my paticular chassis,
it is a visionpro 19" CGA monitor...
Thanks
Tim

I finally got brave or stupid enough, but that grey plug just won't budge.....any reommendations...??
dabone:
Pull harder.
;D
Actually, just rock it back and forth untill it comes loose.
You know you can't just filp that wire over right?
You have to invert the pairs.
You won't blow anything up if you do this,
but my question is what is inverted?
Up and down??
Left and right??
Later,
dabone
vader:
Up and down......Imagine having a cocktail with a flip open top that opens towards the rear. The monitor is set up correctly from the factory, but once mounted things are wrong, basically all needs to be rotated 180 degrees.
