VGA cable issue.
« on: August 07, 2003, 06:01:20 AM »
I sent this message to Goldenshop, whose VGA cable I just got. Maybe someone here can beat them to the punch on the solution?


Hi. I'm hoping you can help me with something: I just received one of your Gamecube VGA cables, and plugged it into my Samsung LCD monitor's VGA input (it also has a DVI input, which my PC uses). I get a picture, and it looks great, but there are about 40 equally-spaced vertical lines in the signal. They're not any color; the picture there is dimmed. Each line is a few pixels wide, and as I said they're equally spaced. It's very strange. This happens on all of my games, and it happens immediately when the system starts. Do you know what the issue could be, and how to correct it? Thanks!

Does it only do this with games? Does it work fine with another signal (satalite/cable other game system etc.) It could just be the monitor is bad, so try to eliminate that as a problem first.

If it is only a problem with this system then the cables are likely bad. Were the cables new or used?

Also if you know anyone else that has the same game system try your cables on their system, or try their cables on yours.
