Hmm... no external video on 5300cs?

Working on getting this going a step further, but, I can't get video out (through the factory  cable) working to my NEC LCD monitor.

I have one adapter that is just DB15 to HD15 (simple enough, no dip switches) and another with 6 dip switches.

Neither one lights up the monitor.

I have no CRT displays in my nerd cave... they all went out years ago.

Thoughts?

It would depend on the age of the NEC LCD monitor you have.  Older 4:3 LCDs I found were more effective in being able to take the signal from the adapter.  Even then, you may have to try a few LCDs.

That being said, have you swapped the VGA cable that you are using with the adapter, with another?

yup... I might try the 4:3 at my parents and see how that goes.
