While working on a number of scenes from the “No Escape!” video today, my LCD monitor gave up the ghost. There are green, red and black lines crawling through the image.<\/p>\n

Not cool.<\/p>\n

I’ve had to rewire the VGA cable on this baby a few times. The VGA cable is built into<\/em> the monitor itself, so if it goes bad I guess you are just suppose to toss the monitor. <\/p>\n

I didn’t want to trash mine. <\/p>\n

I picked up a replacement D-sub 15-pin connector after the built in cable first started going bad and figured out which wires connected to which pin. <\/p>\n

This wasn’t easy. There were more than ten different tiny<\/em> wires and my soldering iron is as dull as a baseball bat. After hitting a few foul balls, I finally got it working again and it has held up fine for about a year.<\/p>\n

It started freaking out again today and I realized that the cable wasn’t the problem anymore … the problem was inside the LCD itself. <\/p>\n

Bad cable + Bad montitor = More consumerism<\/p>\n

It looks like I will be picking up a new LCD sometime soon so I don’t have to work on my music and films on a 12″ or 10.2″ laptop screen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
