Broken CRT? Fix It!

[Cody]

So I had this ancient Sony CRT that worked perfectly except the wiring on the plug end got all screwy and it no longer worked. So I decided that there must be a way to fix this....Cut the cord and rewire the plug on the end? Nonsense! Replace the whole bloody cable. And so I did successfully today. I took one of those old cables with the VGA plug on both ends, cut one end off, and hardwired it into the old CRT. Problem was that the wiring in the one that was originally attached to the monitor and the one I replaced it with were totally different colors. So I got creative and stuff...and it works! Does this deserve a Randomland page? I was completely unable to find anything like it on the internet amazingly enough.

If you have to ask, it has to be on Randomland

And yeah, that's pretty cool. You did take pictures, right?

Of course! Don't be silly. I don't know how good they were but I did take some.
