C COMPAQ VGA CABLE CONNECTOR

HI my mane is Lulama Mncube in South Africa (Pietermaritzburg). I accidentaly crushed the screen of my CQ58 COMPACQ note book some time ago and I managed to get it fixed. After not so long it came loose I took it back to the person who fixed it for me. he opened it now the screen does not come on anymore we tried new screen still but if you connect it to external screen it works. so now he is suspecting VGA CABLE CONNECTOR, but he can;t find one. please help where can I find one. 

Hi @lulama ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a good  place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that you accidentally crushed the display and had it repaired, Not long after the screen became loose and you took it back to the repair person and when he opens the notebook the display is blank. If you connect an external monitor it works.  He thinks it may be the connecting cable but does not know where to locate it.
If you check the maintenance and service guide ( under the user guide) there is usually instructions and diagrams to assist.   Here is a link to HP Troubleshooting Input your model number and follow the on screen prompts.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
When you have the main page open click on User guides and you should see an option for the maintenance and service guide for your notebook if one is available.
Here is a link to Monitor is Blank that may also be of aid.
I hope this helps.

    i bought a mini DVI to HDMI convertor and  a HDMI to VGA cable to connect my mac book pro to a tv but it doesn't work any one can help.

    I would suggest looking into a Thunderbolt to HDMI connector. In this case, you may be able to use the TV as an external monitor. For this option, please confirm through additional research. I have not tested it personally.
    You can also use an Apple TV, which connects with HDMI. In this case, you can use Airplay Mirroring. Not all Macs support Airplay Mirroring, so you need to check first. I have a Mid-2011 27" iMac, and it supports Airplay Mirroring. I don't use it often because my TV is in another room, but I just tried it and it worked. It had to change the screen resolution to work well, so I don't know if I would want to use it as my day to day monitor. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5404

    My laptop is still on; it just has a black screen that I can't get rid of without shutting down the computer by holding the power button.

    Hey there lynmrigg,
    It sounds like have an HDMI to VGA adapter connecting your MacBook Pro and your projector but the screen on your computer goes black and no image appears on the projector. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve or isolate the issue here, named:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
    If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
    Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
    If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Vga cable: 14 vs 15 pin

    I recently bought VGA splitter, that's 14 pin. My VGA cable is 15 pin.
    After connecting the Cable to the splitter the monitor resolution goes down, then if the VGA cable is directly connected to the PC vga adapter.
    So, I looked online to see diffrence between the 14 and 15 pin VGA. I could not find much information, but few blogs. They say 1 or 2 pins are obsolute, so there is no diffrence between 14 and 15 pin cable.
    Then, I boght a 14 pin VGA cable to try. But it don't give the high resolution as 15 pin cable. It's same low resolution picture as 15 pin cable with splitter attached.
    So is it right that 14 and 15 pin VGA cables are same, and if that's right do I need and display setting changed?
    Connecting 14 pin cable don't even  give the resolution option as 15  pin cable give in Display settings. There is only 3 option.

    I have seen this problem and question in various forms many times, and have never seen the correct answer given. So here is the answer. Please spread it around, since many people seem to have the problem:
    VGA 15 pin cables often have only 14 active pins. Pin 9 is missing. (This missing pin is on the middle row of pins, one pin from the end.) This missing pin is a problem for flat screen TVs.
    Pin 9 is required by most, if not all, plasma and lcd TV's to supply back to the computer graphics card information about the available resolution of the monitor. Pin 9 carries a 5 volt signal to the DDC (display data channel). New computer monitors (LCD or CRT) do not seem to need this pin, and work fine without it -- as a result the majority of VGA cables labeled as "15 pin" really only have 14 pins, and this is never explained or noted in the packaging or product specifications! The only way to tell if a "15 pin" VGA cable actually has all 15 pins is to look at the connector and count the pins. If the middle row has only 4 pins, then the critical pin 9 is missing.
    From the posts I have seen -- and from my own experience with my 50" Pioneer PDP-5070HD plasma TV -- nearly all flat screen TV's DO NEED this pin to return information about the native screen resolution.
    I have seen dozens of posts by people trying to set up their HTPC's to work with their big screen plasma, but not being able to set the resolution (usually 1360 x 768) on their video adapter card. Some people on the forums argue they had "no problem" while others cannot make it work. People blame the video card or video card drivers. No one seems to figure out the problem is a missing pin on the supposedly standard "15 pin VGA cable" many people are using!
    I had the same problem with my ATI 9800 Pro graphics card using a 15 pin VGA cable with only 14 pins. When I changed to a full and true 15 pin cable, the ATI 9800 immediately sensed the native resolution of the plasma TV.
    So the difference between a 15 pin and a 14 pin VGA cable is not "just one pin", as one sarcastic idiot answered to a previous post of this question. The absence of the pin 9 signal (5 volt to the DDC) means your your very expensive plasma or LCD TV cannot notify your computer graphics card about its supported resolution. Get a VGA cable with all 15 pins, and your problem may be resolved. But you will have to search to find one by visually examining the plug. Remember, all the VGA cables are labeled and sold as "15 pin VGA cable" even if they actually have only 14 pins. Check it out.
    (BTW, there is a reason to leave the 5 volt signal off the cable when it is not needed. However, for LCD and Plasma TV's, it is needed.)

  • IPad 1 - VGA cable not outputting to projector, monitor or TV?

    I recently purchased the apple VGA cable so that i could project powerpoint presentations using my iPad 1. I have no success at all using any applications to make this work. Slideshark, Keynote etc.
    I had read that only video streaming is supported, however, i cannot get Youtube or any other content to show up. The cable works fine with my iPhone 4S.
    Is there a setting I need to adjust on my iPad? When I plug it into a computer monitor, projector, or TV it seems to detect a signal but the screen stays black.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Aleks

    Thanks all... of course after I posted the query, I decided to do a forum search and found that this was not a unique question...in fact the VGA connector for the iPad1 is about useless. I did do a Slideshow and the images DID display on the external monitor. So the system does work, albeit with some decided limitations.
    Well, not a reason to get an iPad2 yet, this was an experiment and not a regular requirement for me.
    Still.... an odd decision by Apple to be so selective about what it allows to clone. And while they are at it, next time around, an extended desktop option would be really, really neat.

  • My vga  cable has stopped working since upgrading my ipad2 to ios8 - why?

    I Use my ipad2 to give presentations via a projector or tv screen. When I updated to ios8 it stopped working. I get a message like"accessory not supported".
    The cable and presentations etc still works fine on my iPhone 4s which is still running ios7, so it can't be the cable.
    Just tried upgrading the ipad to ios 8.1.1 but it makes no difference.
    anybody know a fix?

    I just bought a dock connector to VGA cable so I could use my 3rd generation iPad with my Epson projector. My IPad shows up through my projector for a few seconds then I get that same message on my iPad that my cable is not supported by this iPad. Your post gave me some answers. it must be that latest big OS upgrade that caused that. Now Apple needs to fix that.

  • VGA cable for Insignia 19" Digital TV

    I'm interested in purchasing your Insignia 19" Digital TV (Model #NS19E310A13) currently on sale, but I need to know the type of and cost of the VGA cable that will connect this TV to my Compaq Model CQ5110Y desktop computer.

    I've got a VGA cable in my drawer the OP can have.

  • VGA Cable (Not Adapter)

    My iBook is used as a desktop machine, connected to an external 17" panel via the VGA adapter which Apple supply.
    The Apple VGA Adapter is only a couple of inches long and so you end up with an ugly VGA plug hanging down from the iBook. Does anyone know of a VGA cable (rather than adapter) is available. To connect the iBook to a VGA monitor directly i.e. With an iBook VGA plug on one end, and a normal VGA connector on the other ?
    Paul

    Apple does sell such an adapter:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter
    With that all you need it an HDMI cable. If you mean that you tried a lightning-to-30-pin adapter with existing cables you had, the specs for that adapter clearly state that it doesn't work with video.
    Regards.

  • Vga cable color code

    Dear,
    I will solder a vga connector to my vga cable, that starts from the printplate of the monitor.
    I've a problem. I don't know the wich color match with wicht pin (15pins connector)
    Other Information:
    info on the cable:  AWM E89980-D SNUF PU STYLE 20276 80°c 30v VW-1
    info on the monitor:
    Product Number: p9623A
    info on the printplate:
    A83LOM1CPT13875
    Thanks a lot!!

    Other folks have reported problems with older cables when using 8.x.  You can wait and see if apple eventually fixes or go to an apple store and buy a new cable.  Got to get the latest firmware on the cable. You could buy apple tv or chromecast ( more difficult to configure ).

  • VGA monitor connector

    I can get my monitor connector to play videos only. How do I get the VGA connector to work to fully interactively display all my activity from my iPad to a vga monitor or digital projector. For instance I can not display keynote nor any photos or a PDF Book. I thought this would be straight forward especially as it seems to work ok on video output. I have looked under settings to see if I could change something but could not find anything that would allow for this. I went on line and saw a video demonstrating the VGA cable link working interactively but it really did not show what they did to make it work.

    Keynote should work.. Did you hit the play button in Keynote?
    The iBook app will not output to video. You need something like the GoodReader app to display PDFs to a monitor.
    As for photos... I believe the only way to display photo on a monitor you need the use the slide show option in the photo app.
    There is only a hand full of apps that uses the option to output to a monitor.
    YouTube app
    GoodReader app
    AirVideo app
    Keynote app
    Star Walk app
    Netflix app
    TWIT app
    Expedition Browser app
    Prefect Browser app
    2nd Screen app
    Rage (game) app just to a few apps that uses videos out to a monitor.
    The iPad can't mirror it's screen to the monitor.

  • Cant get ibook to send display through vga cable

    i have a ibook with a broken screen and i have not used it for a year for that reason. i recently boght a vga cable so i could use a external display. but i can not figure out how to get it to work plzzzzzzzzzz help

    Hi shur,
    Well like Rhonda says. Sometimes that tiny connector on the iBook can be problematic, check for dirt and such.
    When you say:
    i have a ibook with a broken screen
    Is the display cracked? no display, black? No backlight w/ a dim image?
    If the 2nd what happened when it failed.
    It would also help to know your exact model CPU speed and size.

  • Why doesn't Apple permit playing a rented movie on a large screen TV using a VGA cable?

    I was disappointed after waiting over 8 hrs to download an HD movie to my iPad2 from iTunes that I could not play it on my large screen. I connected the iPad to the TV with an Apple VGA adaptor. I got the error message "CANNOT PLAY MOVIE. The connected display (my large screen TV) is not authorized to play protected movies." Yet, in the information provided by Apple, it says I can play the movies on my TV with Apple TV. What's the difference other than Apple TV has an HDMI connector instead of the VGA connector. BTW I had the iPad connected to my stereo set via the iPad's headphone jack.

    The VGA cable does not offer the copy protection necessary to allow the conetn to be played.
    For instance I use an HDMi Adapter from apple and can play movies and TV shows on my HD TV just fine from my iPad 2 and I don't own an Apple TV.
    The following article explains it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4108
    Apple wrote:
    HDCP requirements
    iTunes Store movies (SD and HD) and TV shows (HD) require an HDCP digital connection such as the one provided when using the Apple Digital AV Adapter and HDMI cable. If you attempt to play this content using a non-HDCP digital connection, such as the Apple VGA Adapter, an alert will appear to let you know that an HDCP-compatible device is required. To view iTunes Store content using a non-HDCP digital connection, do one of the following:
    Sync the SD version of the TV show
    Use an Apple Component AV cable to play the HD version at 480p
    Use an Apple Composite AV cable to play the HD version at 480i
    Attempting to play rental content on a device that requires an HDCP digital connection may start the rental timer. Use one of the recommended Apple AV cables to view your rental before the time limit expires.
    This is more the movie studios doing than anythng Apple is pushing. Though it may help push their Apple TV.

  • Mini DVI to VGA cable doesn't send signal to the projector

    I just received a mini DVI to VGA adapter cable today.
    I connect mini DVI side of cable into my Macbook v. 4.1 and connect the other side into DGA cable, which connected to LCD projector.
    When I connect the cable to my Macbook, the opened application streched out to a full screen (seems like computer detets the cable) but projector says 'no signal'.
    Can any one tell me what is wrong it is?
    Thanks much
    Mike

    I'm still stucked.
    By reading some articles, it says even using mini DVI adapter, the signal is still digital and if the projector doesn't accept digital signal then it's no use....
    My projector is Epson EX3200 and it doesn't have any DVI or HDMI input.
    Does this mean my projector doesn't accept a digital signal?
    But, but, but if even uing mini DVI adapter cable it still doesn't conver to analog signal then why they call the cable a mini DVI to VGA cable???
    Why should this world be so complecated.....
