Well, i dual screen my 22" widescreen and my 17" little thing.
__________________
Usually my little screen is for forums and talking while my big one is for gaming ofcourse but something happened yesterday. I was just playing Trackmania and my little screen just.. turned off, I thought nothing of it and paused it and tried to fix it. Little did i know it has broken ( maybe ). So, i use an AC adapter that connects to the power cable of my big screen and goes to the little one ( connects from Big monitor power cable to the little monitors VGA cable. ) Like this: http://img.alibaba.com/photo/1169474...T_Products.jpg But england counter-part. So im not sure whether the monitor has gone or the cable, Is it worth buying a new cable and testing it? The AC box gets really hot ( when you touch it you cant hold it for 3 seconds or longer or you will burn your hand ) So any help/comments are welcome. And as always, have a great evening -Eltoc My System: Liam's rig..?

Definitely worth trying a different cable. See if you can borrow one from someone. When you consider the cost of trying a new cable and buying a new screen...not really worth it, especially if it was just a faulty cable
There maybe just to much load on the adapter, why not buy a second power lead for the smaller monitor and plug it in to a separate socket?

The problem there is, the monitor is only a small 17" proview and the only way to get a power cable in there is to fix it to the VGA ( little slot on the VGA cable to put it in )
So ill just have to buy a new cable which will fit into my main monitors power cable. Thanks ill get another |
