My desktop computer display has a VGA entry, but it is the one with three rows of pins, the same as in the vga cards, so that the cable I found would not fit, because in the monitor end it has 2 rows, and on the PC end 3 rows. I would need a cable with 3 pin rows on each end. So I dug out an old monitor that has a VGA cable attached (no plug on the display end). Actually, it is the first flat display I bought, second hand. They were very expensive at first. Connected it to the old laptop, powered every thing, and after reseating a power connector, the display did display the correct output. Fantastic that it did so automatically. Only that the monitor is 3/4, and the laptop has the modern form aspect, so a bit was lost to the right. The machine was actually hibernated, so it restored to the running XFCE session, where I could find out what episode I was watching of Montalbano. Wrote it down, and did the final power off sequence. Farewell. It is actually the first computer I own that actually fails. I have older machines still working, like an Amstrad PC 1512 DD. -- Cheers, Carlos.
