Replacement VGA cabal...

[TOAOCyrus]

Hey I am just wondering if its possible to get a replacement VGA cabal for a CRT monitor. My dog chewed the original one for my Samsung 990DF. I opened the case and it just snaps on, its not attached permanently or anything. Anyone know where I can get a new one?

Most local PC shops sell replacement VGA cables, or pretty much every electronics retailer, including CompUSA, BestBuy, Circuit City, etc., if yours does in fact just connect with a standard VGA connector. If it has some sort of non-standard plug-in connector (which I expect it does if you had to open the case to get at it), then you won't be likely to find a replacement anywhere that isn't selling replacements specifically for that brand and model. Though you might be able to get an entire dead one that somebody's selling for spare parts.

If you can find someone handy with a soldering iron though, you can just cut out the chewed part and splice the ends together and end up with a slightly shorter cable, or splice in an entirely new cable. Signal quality shouldn't be too terribly degraded if done properly.

You opened the casing on your CRT? Be careful, that can be dangerous equipment if not handled properly.

Cabal

For other uses, see Cabal (disambiguation).
Not to be confused with Kabal.

A cabal is a number of persons united in some close design, usually to promote their private views and interests in a church, state, or other community by intrigue. Cabals are secret organizations composed of a few designing persons; a political cabal is often called a junta. The term can also be used to refer to the designs of such persons. The term also holds a general meaning of intrigue and conspiracy. Its usage carries strong connotations of shadowy corners and insidious influence; a cabal is more evil and selective than, say, a faction, which is simply selfish. Because of this negative connotation, few organizations use the term to refer to themselves or their internal subdivisions. Among the exceptions is Discordianism, in which the term is used to refer to an identifiable group within the Discordian tradition.

The term cabal derives from Kabbalah (which has numerous spelling variations), the mystical interpretation of the Hebrew scripture, and originally meant either an occult doctrine or a secret. It was introduced into English in the publication of Cabala a curious medley of letters and papers of the reigns of James and Charles I that appeared in 1654.[1]
