Re: Hp 1502

how long does it stay lit for? Laborious I know but you may have to check the two vga cables have the same pin configuration - back then there were many variations of vga
and svga some with different wires and different wires on different pins. though I think they kept to a standard for the 6 (that is 2 x3 " colour" data wires.)

The only display that shows is that it is going to sleep mode but it doesnt even flicker with this cable. This cable has one less cable and 2 less pins in the vga connector

Re: Hp 1502

I dont know what the going to sleep mode is- is it a message like "no signal."
If you take the vga out does it give the no signal message.

Check the source is still working? I have laptop which will not output to a second screen, but I think you said that is what you used and got a signal.
When it is connected is it recognised by the pc - what does it show as in control panel
system device manager monitor.
Try changing back - perhaps changing cables has cleaned the pins?

Re: Hp 1502

if you take out the vga it gives you the same signal message.

It is being detected on the laptop itself as a secondary monitor and I can change the refresh rate and so on from the laptop if i want (and i did to test).

well i will try to change back the cable tomorrow morning.

Re: Hp 1502

Did you change the cable back - with either cable is it on long enough to get into the osd
menu to do a reset?

Re: Hp 1502

already changed the cable to the original one problem persisted. The original cable didnt even give me the chance of entering in the menu as the menu only appears for a second and goes away with the flicker, I'll try with the other cable again and keep you posted.
