Vga monitor for performa 6116?

my Apple Multiple Scan 14 display just quit and I would like to know if there is any way to connect a current monitor with VGA connector to my old computer - a Performa 6116CD (my first computer! lol)
is there an adapter or something maybe? I don't use the computer, just like to keep it working just in case
thanks for any advice.

I thought I'd open the question again in case anyone can answer whether my display can be repaired by regular TV repair people
Well played, sir. That is an option.
Historically, that repair option has swung both ways. Usually you have to find a independent repairman who is comfortable with computers, as he will need something to test the monitor.
There was a very nice Apple 20" monitor with a Trinitron display in the late 90's that produced a lovely image but tended to burn out a component on one of the video boards in the monitor. An Apple tech could only replace the affected board at US$400 + labor, but some people were able to get independent TV repair shops to do the work. One guy said the burned out part cost 20 cents and the TV dude charged him US$30 to remove the video board, de-solder the bad part, install a replacement and reassemble. He got years of additional service from an otherwise DOA monitor. I call that a bargain!
You'll just have to ask around. I believe the success of getting guys to fix the old Apple monitor I mentioned lies in their comfort with Sony products. It may come down to whose innards Apple used in yours.

  • VGA monitor for Imac Snow 600mhz

    Hi, I have a imac 'snow' model and because I use a lot of spreadsheet applications, wanted to attach a larger monitor. I have purchased an Xerox XM3-19W monitor and attached via the rear VGA plug and all is well except for the sharpness of image. I have tried all of the prefs settings but still not good. The monitor is as follows: screen size: 19'' , Technology: LCD , Brightness: 300 cd/m² , Contrast ratio: 500:1 , Dot pitch: 0.28mm , Maximum refresh rate: 75Hz, 1440 x 900.
    Can anyone please assist?
    regards
    Peter
    Imac snow   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   600 mhz

    Peter, 
    An LCD display is only really sharp when operating in the native-resolution which in this case is 1440 x 900.
    Unfortunately the iMac G3 can only mirror it's internal display to the external display. This means that the iMac is only pushing a 1024x768 image out of the VGA port. The external display is taking this image and stretching it to it's panel.
    Unfortunately the bottom line is that although you can connect a really large monitor to the iMac it won't actually give you any more working space; just the same space displayed larger.
    I guess it might be time to look at a refurbished Mac Mini.

  • How do you plug a VGA monitor to a Mac mini (mid 2011)

    I used my older Mac mini (mid 2007)  with a VGA LCD monitor through an "DVI to VGA" adapter with no problems.
    However, this older adapter does not fit in the "HDMI to DVI Adapter" supplied with my new Mac mini (mid 2011).
    There are no receptacles (holes) in the "HDMI to DVI adapter" for the four pins located around the flat tab on one hand of the older adapter .
    Any suggestion on how to plug a LCD VGA monitor to a mid 2011 Mac mini?
    I know there is a Thunderbolt port and a HDMI port,
    but being able to use an inexpensive VGA monitor for set-up and periodic maintenance,
    without having to fire up a huge plasma screen each time, would be nice.
    There is no displayport on this mid 2011 Mac mini.
    There does not seem to be any HDMI to VGA nor  Thunderbolt to VGA adapters on the market.
    Any suggestions?

    The > Apple - Thunderbolt Port is the same as and doubles as a Mini DisplayPort.
    Look down at the bottom of > Mac mini (Mid 2011) - Technical Specifications in the Accessories / Displays and Graphics section or on page #33 of your User Guide.

  • VGA monitor and TV switchbox with Mini

    I have recently purchased the EyeTV for DTT box for my Mac Mini. I currently use a Dell VGA monitor for my work but would like to watch TV broadcasts from the EyeTV through my TV. However, I don't want to keep unplugging the monitor and then plugging in the TV (via the DVI - S-video adaptor) each time I want to view EyeTV stuff. Is there some kind of switchbox available which would enable me to have both the monitor and TV connected and where I could just flick a switch to send the video signal to either the monitor or TV (note: I don't need the video signal to be displayed on both the monitor and TV at the same time).
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Sorry I misread your post.
    One option would be an eyeHome which would connect to the ethernet port of the Mac mini.
    Another option is a VGA Splitter.

  • Best way to hook a Mini display port to a vga projector AND a vga monitor

    I am looking for the best way to hook a Mini display port to a vga projector AND a vga monitor for use in a classroom, right now I am thinking a Mini displayport adapter to a splitter.

    The Thunderbolt port is the one to use; you use the same mini-DisplayPort adapter you used for the older minis.

  • DVI to VGA Adapter For 2nd Monitor

    Hello,
    I have a DELL monitor with a male DVI cable.  I want to convert to VGA so I can use it as a second monitor.  I currently have an Apple female VGA to Thunderbolt adapter.  What do I need to convert this DVI male to a VGA female?  Or...., do they make a DVI to Thunderbolt adapter?
    Thanks Much,
    Rick

    The Thunderbolt Port on your iMac uses Mini DisplayPort adapters for HDMI, DVI and VGA monitors.
    For DVI monitor's that are 24" or smaller with a resolution of 1920x1200 or less, you need a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.

    For DVI monitor's that are 27" or larger with higher resolutions, you need a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter.

  • I cracked my screen. I want to use other monitor which I had one. I bought Apple Mini-DP to VGA adapter. It worked. It means I can see ADDITIONAL screen. However I want to use this monitor for the main screen. How can I do?? Please help.

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the monitor. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the monitor and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the monitor your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

  • 27" iMac as monitor for Lenovo T400 laptop (VGA out)

    I thought I read that it would be possible to use the iMac as an external display. I bought a cheap cable that is Mini-DisplayPort (M) to VGA (F), and I also bought a VGA cable (M-M). I plugged the cables into each other, then into the iMac, then into the Lenovo T400 laptop I have to use for work.
    The iMac didn't react at first, then, when I pressed cmd-F2, the display on the iMac changed resolutions to something like 640x480, but was still displaying the Mac. I looked at the Display control panel on the Lenovo and it could see that a monitor was plugged in, and could see what size/resolution it was. However, even when I clicked "extend desktop onto this display", it still didn't display anything from the PC onto the iMac screen.
    All went back to normal when I unplugged the cables.
    Thoughts?
    Sure, it could be the cable(s), but I was intrigued that the Windows Display Control Panel could see that there was a monitor there.

    I read that. It says, among other things "using a Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cable or using a converter that converts other electrical, video, and audio protocols from another source device to Mini DisplayPort compliant signals. (Cables and converters available separately.)"
    A 'simple' VGA to Mini DisplayPort adapter is not sufficient to provide "+Mini DisplayPort compliant signals+" as mentioned in that article.
    For that you would need an Analog-To-Digital converter and those are ranging in about USD 200 or more.
    Are you saying that the Mini DisplayPort adaptors that go from Mini DisplayPort to VGA, which I bought, only go from Mac to VGA monitor, rather than in both directions?
    Yes, that's exactly the point (see above).

  • 1636215 - Performance monitoring for the Advanced Adapter Engine

    Hi ALL,
    How can we monitor the performance by changing the parameter to true in the above note please please help me
    Thanks,
    Raj

    Hi Dheeraj,
    Since you've gone through the note, I'm assuming you know how to activate the performance monitoring for adapter engine.
    However, there are reservations against doing it in any system Dev/Quality/Production. Reason being, it becomes performance/load intensive when the perf. monitoring is on.
    Still, you can diagnose bottlenecks and execution trends in Dev/Quality using performance monitoring as suggested in the note but be aware that your box is coping well with it. Please note, once activated, you don't have to do anything else. System will automatically collect performance data and you will be able to browse through it using the performance monitoring link.
    How to use it???
    You see a performance monitoring link in Monitoring Home (navigate via Configuration and Monitoring home from PI/PO homepage).
    It will help you analyze the flow of message on periodical basis (hourly/daily etc) and will give you more stats on number of messages in that time duration, average time taken, message sizes (min, max and avg), interface-by-interface detail of runtime consumption at every stage etc.
    Please go through standard SAP help for more clarity:
    Monitoring Performance - Advanced Adapter Engine - SAP Library
    Apart from this, there is this great blog by Suseelan around monitoring:

    Well, rather than trying to explain in the forum, I suggest you download the document "The SAP DBA Cockpit for Microsoft SQL Server" from:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/1062428c-f1df-2910-b08f-c322feddcd10?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
    This will explain everything you need to know about DB02 transaction for MS SQL server. You can read through it find out what all monitoring can be done.
    You can check the following Areas:
    Performance (ST04)
    Space (DB02)
    Configuration = Some ST04 detail screens plus new ones
    Diagnostics = Some ST04 and DB02 detail screens plus new ones
    Frankly, Space and performance are the main areas.
    Refer to the guide and this should solve all your doubts.
    Regards,
    Shitij
