Title: Vga wireing plz help!
Post by: Jox43w on June 16, 2008, 10:34:54 am
iv just picked up a scart and vga cable to make my vga to scart cable but i dont have a multimeter and dont know which whire are for which.

i have red green and blue

then i have  light green pinky light red are theese red and green (return) or (ground)?

if so what colour would blue ground be?

im trying to match the cables to the pin numbers on the end i cut off but the very base has been kind of coated in a plastic shell which has all the wires stuck togeter and is really hard to tell but from what i can see pin1 on the vga is a black wire wtf??

plz healp been looking foward to getting this done

what are you making a vga to scart for,scart will only accept 15khz so unless you are giving a 15khz signal it will not work
