Please help. I have searched for hours and have not been able to find the answer to this problem. The monitor on my iMac 233 is gone. I opened it up and disconnected the monitor cable and then the hard drive would boot (will not boot with monitor connected.). I tried hooking up an old Apple IIGS monitor, but it wouldn't work either. The cable fit, but several pins not included on GS cable. The cable has 15 pins in 2 rows, 8 on top-7 bottom. What kind of monitor will be compatible with this cable? I was preparing to install USB CDR to back up my files when the thing died and have lost my data. PLease Help! Thanks

Thanks! I'm shopping for an old multiscan now. Will report back on how it works. Very much appreciate the feedback.

Umm.. are you talking about the 15pin connector on the 'can' of the imac 233? that isn't a monitor plug, although it looks like it.

Did you recently install OS X?

It actually *is* a monitor plug, and will work to drive an Apple display.
