I have a 25" Sharp Image monitor with a Sharp Image chassis board. The board is labeled as follows for the 6 pin connector that send the monitor signals:

1 - R
2 - G
3 - B
4 - E
5 -
6 - S

What are these for?

I'm trying to hook up my homemade VGA cable, so what gets connected to what now?

I know the RGB, go to pin 1,2 and 3 of my homemade cable, but what about pins 4, 5 and 6 on the monitor chassis?

The current owner of my cabinet has pins 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hooked up, so should I modify his connector for:
1 - R
2 - G
3 - B
4 - Ground
5 - Nothing
6 - twist the sync wires together from my VGA cable?

IT'S WORKING!!!

Here is what I did in case anyone else comes across this issue.

My cabinet was already somewhat modified when I bought it, the previous owner had made a cable that was connected to the first 5 pins (RGBE_) yes, there the sync wires were running to the spot that wasn't labeled. The board had a pin there, it just wasn't labeled. I used his same connector and just hooked up my modified VGA cable the same way and it seems to work.

I had a screen rolling issue at first, but changing the resolution to 640X480 fixed that problem.

R - Red wire
G - Green Wire
B - Blue Wire
E - Ground
   - Twisted the 2 sync cables and used this pin since that's what the previous owner did.
S - NO CABLE HOOKED HERE
