Just about every computer (cpu) uses a standard IBM power cord. Most monitors do as well, unless the power cord is permanently connected.
Most computer equipment, other than printers and small devices, use the IBM power cord.
I am wondering the same thing, if you are talking about the 8pin mini din cable that splits into video input and power. If you found anything let me know...
See if you have only VGA port on the ASUS Monitor then you need to plugin the VGA part of HDMI to VGA in Asus Monitor and then plug the other part that is HDMI in your Macbook pro.There might be a problem with you that both Asus monitor and the HDMI to VGA cable have same VGA Plugs,Like both of them are female VGA or both of them are Male VGA hence they cannot be connected together.For that problem you need to have one more cable of the opposite character to that of your HDMI to VGA and your monitor's VGA port to establish a connection between the Monitor and Macbook pro using the cable you already have. Like if you have female VGA on your monitor and on your existing cable then you need to buy male to male VGA and vice versa you have to buy female to female VGA for male ports on monitor and cable you already have. If you feel that there is some other problem than that then you can message me directly and i will guide you accordingly.
DVI is the digital display standard for computer displays, so it is indeed a monitor cable. DVI provides similar resolutions to analog VGA cables when running LCD panels at their native resolution and normally avoid timing errors that can reduce the clarity of VGA signals in some cases. DVI can also support analog VGA signals on the same cable so before changing to a DVI cable make sure your monitor and computer both support DVI digital.
You can do it but what happens is that you might end up getting interference due to the movement of charge in the power cable.
What you will need is to go out and buy a cable that is designed to be hooked onto your computer and the back of your tv. Once its hooked on your have to go to display settings and change which monitor is used as your main monitor, choose your tv or what ever and it will be set to come up like that
A straight or standard cable is wired the same on both ends. What color goes where is not important, as long as it is the same.
How you set up a computer varies depending on the type of computer. A laptop does not require the same steps as a desk top. You use the monitor cable to connect the monitor to the computer case, or tower. Plug in the cords for the keyboard and mouse. Plug the power supply cords into a surge protector.
This is not an answer but I want to know the same thing. My Sony Bravia has a PC input and a corresponding menu option, but this is separate from the RGB cable which has no menu option. I was having the same problem; I had plugged in the RGB cable to both my laptop and to the monitor, but when I changed my monitor input to "RGB" it said there was no signal. I found another site that said to restart your PC/laptop after plugging in the cable, and after restarting it worked for me. Hope that helps!
I don't have an answer but I do have the exact same monitor with the exact same problem. It's not the cable since I tried connecting it analog instead of digital and that didn't work. It's not the video card since I attached a different monitor to the computer and that monitor did work. Does the green power on light stay lit(with the VGA cable hooked up with a signal)? If so, the is a problem with either the inverter board or a bad backlight on the LCD. I have the same problem with an AG neovo 17" monitor - on vga and BNC inputs it only displays for less than a second before going blank. - clearly given our similar experiences, this is some sort of defect in the monitor - an engineer from ag neovo should sign up and enlighten us. The problem is a defective internal power supply board. If you disassemble the monitor and examine the power board you'll find leaking capacitors (usually) or other out-of-spec part. We're just a computer repair shop.
Match up the two ends of the cable. Look closely at the color coding of the pins at both RJ-45 connectors. If the same colors are used in the same pin positions then the cable is a straight-through cable. If they are reversed at both ends then it is a cross-over cable.Sometimes the cable will be marked that way on the outside covering of the cable. Look for the words "cross-over cable".
Most recent LCD TV's can also be used as a computer monitor. You want to make sure that both your computer and your LCD TV have the same type of connection port. Look for either an S-video or an HDMI port and then go buy the appropriate cable, and you're set.
Pliers are not the same as cable cutters. Pliers have flat, grooved jaws. Cable cutters have jaws that are both ground to a bevel edge so where they meet is a sharp cutting edge.
