Customer Review: Monitor extension Cable
Summary: 4 Stars
I received the shipment on time.
My old Sony monitor cable plug was damaged. The extension cable (with its 2 male plug ends and 10ft cable) proved to be the excellent economical option. Original cable replacement are more costly than I could get for the monitor itself.
I cut the cable into 2 pieces, opened the monitor case and reached out to the original cable. Due to delicacy of the connected terminals within I decided to cut the original leaving the terminals and enough length to allow joining and welding the new cable to the old one.
The job wasn't easy and straightforward. The old cable and new cable have different color wires and the newone has 2 wires less than the original !!!!
I had to get a tester and check what each wire represent on its corresponding plug . Summed this up on a wiring diagram showing which color corresponds to what on the new cable.
I then jointed the wires in a staggered manner and welded each joint. I then insulated each wire separately then clamped them all into one insulated wrap that could fit with difficulty into a space inside the monitor case without causing an obstruction of air flow or causing an overheat or electrical risk and still allow the case to fit back.
The end result was doubtful, due to the difference in the number of wires and to the decision based on the "tester' which of the wires connected to the monitor were actually redundant on the plug end!!!
But, the result was big success. Voila, the monitor worked great as NEW.
It was great after the few night hours I spent doing this task. Especially that I'm a civil engineer with the experience and know-how in construction management and reinforced concrete and planning and scheduling, but just an amateur in electronics.
But now, there it is I have a great working old monitor and also a spare monitor cable (the second half of the extension cable) and at a very reasonable cost. The main idea is not to be afraid to try new ideas and solutions ... and taking the risk, but only after giving it thorough study that covers all issues and mainly "safety" when it comes to working with electrical and electronics.
NB: In opened case monitors be careful not to ever touch the terminals of the CRT (the inner end of the screen inside the case - resembles the tip of the cone, since the terminals in it keep a very high electrical charge that is very dangerous and lethal).
Good luck for whoever wants to adapt this cheap solution for a similar repair.
