Question:

VGA cable problem?

I recently bought a VGA cable for my pc to my tv. The cable works, and has no bent pins, but for some reason my tv flickers blue every few seconds. I've tried changing the resolution to every setting, I've tried changing the color quality, and I've tried changing the refresh rate. I have an Inspiron 6000, with Windows XP. My tv is fairly new, these are the specs: * 15 TFT LCD display * 4:3 aspect ratio * 1024 x 768 pixel resolution * 260 cd/m? brightness * 350:1 contrast ratio * 16ms response rate * Digital Broadcast Ready - Built-in ATSC tuner * Trilingual on-screen graphical user interface * MTS stereo output * Auto channel set up * S-Video input * Composite input * RF input (750hm) * VGA D-Sub 15 pin * Headphone jack * DC jack inputPlease help!

Answer:

Try using a different VGA cable, sounds like it might have a loose connection were the pins get attached to the cable conductors. If you get the same problem with the other VGA cable it MIGHT be the VGA input on the monitor. if you have an old monitor swap that over and see if the problem persists. FYI VGA cables use basically a Red Green Blue signal conductor aswelll as vertical and horizontal control. Your screen going blue usually means that the red and green conductors are dodgy
