hey there. found a 19" Logix monitor the other day, with vga cable cut. when i plugged it in to see if it even worked, it displayed a no signal input screen, so good start, i thought! decided to remove the cable entirely from the tube and mainboard, so i could splice it with another spare vga cable.
2 hours later, my mutant cable was done, but on plugging it back in, and attaching to a laptop, nothing but a gray glow appeared on screen. im pretty sure i didnt touch anything else, so could my dodgy cable splicing have killed the monitor? i taped every wire in electrical tape, and was pretty careful doing it.i get the feeling its nothing to do with the cable, but at the same time dont understand why its not displaying the no signal input screen. i even unplugged the cable from the tube/mainboard again, but still displays nothing but the glow.
ideas?
