Signal Cable Problem

Jan 13, 2008

- Hey, I tryed my other moniter, no dice. I took the moniter that was giving me the "Please Check Signal Cable" and plugged it into my computer and it works just fine. I'm actually posting this from it. Any other Ideas?

- Hey, there is only one card on the back of the tower and it looks like an moniter cable plug. Not the plug in, as it has the prongs sticking out, nto a place for prongs. I don't believe, i have encountered soemting like it before so I have no idea wha tit is. Other than that there are no other cards. Perhaps it is integrated?

- What good is a serial DB9? Well, from the stats I gave before, I dought that it will be worth geting a new card... I'll to check and see if I already have one. Also, will it need a driver? Because I'm sure I have a card but I don't have a driver.

- Ok I believe it is a, CreAtive Video Card. On the back are two stikers the first says "153-s66-4815-0575163" and the other says "S/N :M410031352613" Not sure if that helps. I only have about a year or so experaince with computers so I'm not sure if this is a video card. On the end that sticks out of the tower, there is three holes with this: the first looks like this ((( ))) with an arrow pointing into the circle, the second is a microphone, and the third is ((( ))) with an arrow pointing out.

- Dang, can you tell me exactly what the back will look like? I also have one with 2 phone lines ont the back and two holes that say mic and speaker?

- Ok, I have three very similar, (1=GraphicsBy Rage XL and the below that it says: 215R3LASB220 (2=Diamond Multimedia Stealth 3D) and (3=Trident 3D Image 9750). The Last one is really large with the moniter hook up but it is the only one with that round hook up on the back. The others just have moniter plugs.

- Ok, do you know where I can get the driver? Obviosuly I'll need it on a disk or something.... maybe a floppy?

- Will I ever need the driver? Where could I get it?

- Ok, I chose Windows XP Pro but I'm not sure what to click next.

- Hye I have a prob. I tryed installing it but the hook up to the mother board was backwards. Should I use one of the other video cards? Do you have the driver for either of them?

- Ok, on the stealth it says: "S3 ViRGE On Board H1C3BB" and below that it says "86C325" and below that it says "9617 BA2132.1" and below that the last thing it says is "TAIWAN" There is also a sticker on the back that says "SN 2360701027158' and below that on the sticker it says "P/N 23030216-403". There is also a second sticker that is round and says "DMSI" with "T2" below the DMSI. Hope this helped, I really want to get this computer running.
