#6 white wire dont pull the pin.

also you can add a switch after cutting the wire in case you still wanted to use vga down the road still.

if you look at the pcb where the wires are at it has a #1 on one side and then the far side has a number like 11 or somthing dont remeber off hand but go from pin 1 wich is wire 1 and go over to 6 wich I believe is white and cut the #6.

when done hook it to your pc monitor and if you get no picture or out of sync then you have it done right.

bonjour northerngames sweet info again thank you.  Yea i dont feel great about pulling the 6th pin on the connector cause the wire inside the connector may touch other wires after pulling the pin.

roger that on testing it on a PC monitor after cutting the wire

thanks again northern for everything

i just attempted to cut the wire .......and wire 6 is not white it is purple , i cut it to no avail. There is also a white wire #14 from memory and that doesnt work either. I proceeded to work on the connector and removed pin 6. All methods dont work on this VGA Box i still get a 31k signal.

it is number #6 where the wire's are soldered onto the pcb in a line on the inside of the box.

you should only have to cut 1 wire only.

Kinda silly but you did flip the switch on the box right?
