Re: [PLUG] Dell Optiplex 745 video
If you/re anywhere near Vancouver I've got a DMS-59 to dual DVI cable P/N H9361 and a DMS-59 to dual VGA cable you can have.

Re: [PLUG] Dell Optiplex 745 video
One idea (I am not putting any particular value on the merit of the idea) is to reset the BIOS to default, remove the extra video card, and see if you get VGA video that way. There is usually a jumper or something to reset the BIOS, check the motherboard manual for the procedure. -- Russell Senior russ...@personaltelco.net On Wed, Nov 25, 2020 at 8:10 PM Michael Barnes wrote: > > I have a Dell Optiplex 745 computer I need to get into service for a > special project.

[PLUG] Dell Optiplex 745 video
I have a Dell Optiplex 745 computer I need to get into service for a special project. It has a dual DVI video card in it right now, however, I do not have a splitter cable to bring it out to single DVI connections. I really only need a VGA output for my application and would have to use a DVI>VGA adapter anyhow. I cannot seem to get anything out of the onboard VGA jack. I tried just removing the video card, but that doesn't do it. I need to either 1. Enable the VGA jack on the motherboard 2. Find a splitter cable (Dell H9361 DMS-59 to Dual DVI Y-Splitter Cable) 3. Find a replacement video card that will fit this beast with either a single DVI or VGA output The hard part is I am trying to get this thing working by this weekend. Thanks for any ideas or help.
