Trying to think how to handle that Andy, and I would simply cut around (not through) the monitors cable at the far end, remove one pin at a time and move that wire over to a new connector. You should be able to do that one at a time, looking where the old pin was, and mathcing with the new one. Or you could do it by "megging"one wire on the back of the old connector and finding its other end on the other side of that connector. The first way would be easiest, since you have to remove them anyway. Danny
