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?
