Monitor cable

Hi, can someone please help me???
I currently have a Packard Bell monitor which I need to connect to a HP tower, can someone please tell me or post a link to which cable i need to do this???

thanks in advance

 

As Halo indicated... Tough question to answer, since video cables come in different flavors. My best guess would be either a standard VGA/SVGA cable or a DVI-D cable. Be aware that even DVI cables come in different flavors. You'd need to look at the pin-outs to determine which it is. These may be of assistance...

Thanks for the help, i am crap without like this, but i will try and explain best i can....

The back of the monitor connections is a bit like a electric kettle connection, (a 3 pin plug).....

The PC connection has 9 pins in it.....

i hope you can understand this discription......

many thanks

 

The three pin plug on the monitor is most likely the power plug. Is there another plug like the 9 pin on the computer? Or maybe even a cable connected already in a more permanent manner? I don't think the 9 pin is the monitor plug on the computer either.

I suspect you should be looking for something like is shown on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector

 

Sorry if i have confused anyone, it is the power plug i am looking for, I need power to my monitor, but on my pc at moment which is pb pc and pc bell monitor....what i need is power to my monitor using HP tower and p/bell monitor....

 

FYI Only: Some power supplies (especially older ones) do have both a C14 inlet and then a C13 outlet for powering a monitor, but you need either an IEC-C13 to IEC-C14 cable or a 5-15R to IEC-C14 cable to take advantage of it.

 

Thanks for the help chaps, it was a monitor power cable i needed, my other pc monitor was powered by the tower, and me knowing jack about computer thought all computers were the same..I now know they are not..... But sorted now anyway..
