Hi Everyone,
I have a nice little 12" Keycorp SVGA monitor but unfortunately it is a bit restricted by having to use it's own dedicated PCI card (It takes it's power from the graphics card). Anybody know if it is possible to rewire this monitor to run using a standard VGA plug and seperate power lead? and what the wire colour layout might be). I'd like to be able to make use of this monitor on any graphics card if possible.
Thanks

Hello,

It sounds nice and propriatary. Just be careful, as you can shock yourself on that Monitor, even if it is not plugged in. The tubes and capacitors there can store quite a charge, months or years. Beware.

Personally, I would leave it alone.

Thanks for the advise, sounds potentially scary. I'll keep my fingers out of it.
