I bought this cheap arse VGA cable for my 360 from hong kong and after having to unplug in and out all the time to switch between the 360 and PC, one of the pins has managed to push through and break. Does anyone here have the mad skills to fix this? or know anywhe that I could take it to get fixed reasonably cheap? a TV repair place or something perhaps?

Learn the lesson, and buy a quality cable. Time is money.

For what they're worth, I'd say you'd be better off just buying an official Microsoft, rather than paying to have your cheap one fixed.

yeah Sam... we have a guy here @ work that does this stuff..


ask for Spook David M @ Compy All

any idea what they charge for that?

It's $50 for the official 360 VGA cable and it's not easy to find in stores. The one I got from ebay cost all of about $12 including shipping, so even if I have to pay $10 bucks or something to get it fixed, no big deal

I actually just bought a VGA switch to use to stop having to plug it in and out all the time, ironically it was plugging it into the switch that f***ed it :(

Just buy the cable u fag

it's job that falls outside of the company's scope.

techs take on this stuff just so they don't have to live thru the day to day boredom of 2nd/3rd tier tech support

I'd say ring the guy and ask him.. he's a dude - even if he's not a gamer

Wait a minute, what town is Compy All located in? Who the hell would drive to the country to get some VGA cables fixed?

A redneck from out west who dun know how to undo them there tricky screws obviously

actually.. what am I saying...


most Qglers that I've ever crossed @ work who don't understand that buying hot components means that you need a case that's more a wind tunnel than a computer desktop case.


there's a whole nother them there webbidy site called Overclockers Aussieland that specialises in that there kind of informations.. you should goggle it

even if I have to pay $10 bucks or something to get it fixed, no big deal

are you living in 1991 where $10 actually means something?

f*** off ... its easy to find.

It was enough for a couple of rides on your mum

If it is a moulded cable then it is only going to be dodgy job no matter who does it.

how long does it need to be, i have a good quality one you can have real cheap if you come pick it up (i'm in morningside)

not very, it's sitting right next to a switch box which in turn is right next to the monitor

it's a 360 VGA cable though?

Are they different to your standard VGA? If so i can just fix your current one for you, can the end be taken apart?

it has a different plug at one end which goes into the 360, otherwise they are the same, it's just one pin that is broken, the rest are fine, either it just needs a new pin soldered in place or rewired the entire plug with a new one, I have a spare head off another cable if need be

i can resolder it for you, and i have a few spare vga heads, send me an email quarantined@gmail.com and ill sort it out for you.
