    Monitor Problems....



    Here is the deal... I have an HP Apollo 700 series workstation and the monitor died. I have a normal 15 inch monitor. Here is the problem.. The Apollo has a fixed frequency vid card that I can not change and it has a 3 BNC connection. I already know the monitor will support the res and freq of the vid card and I have the pin out of the monitor but I need to know if there is a way to seperate the sync and green signals since they are currently on the same wire, and also how to get the monitor to know it has a signal comming in. If anyone could help or atleast point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

    Here the deal...NO. You need to find a good PCI video card plug it in. Turn off the onboard video from the BIOS and you will be good to go.
    Research, research, research before you walk the plank.

    PCI Video

    That is IMPOSSIBLE. The computer has no pci slots period. All components are proprietary even the HP-PA RISC processor. Therefore I can not cnage the vid card.

    Thank you for the more info, you may also want to check www.mpja.com for any connectors you might need to get and good luck with the re-wire job.
