[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1394271, member: 46727"] As member "cradom" pointed out the connector has 10 pins (my old eyes see the same on mine). The Mini DVI adapter to DVI likewise should have 10 on the female side. Since your adapter is new I doubt that's the problem as I pointed out in my first reply. If you can see that 2 pins are missing, then that's the problem. But look closely and make sure they're not actually bent in or to the side. The pins are very thin and difficult to see. I think but am not sure that you can use a USB to DVI adapter. In other words, from your USB 2 port to DVI. But... they are expensive.
