I bought a new video card with HDMI and DVI-D connectors. My monitor has DVI-I cable. That's good, that I found your video on TH-cam and didn't ruin my cable. Thank you and all of your family;)

I think you must have had what's called a 'passive' DVI-I to VGA adaptor. As you found out, it requires a DVI-I output from your graphics card. That would be a card capable of both analogue & digital video signal output. Those extra pins that you removed (C1 to C4) are actually the analogue signal pins that get passed straight through to the VGA side of a passive adaptor. So by removing them it meant the VGA cable to the monitor was not really connected to anything anymore. With your newer DVI-D card which is digital output only, such passive adaptors can only be used to convert to HDMI for example, but not to analogue VGA. I see you can actually buy DVI-D to VGA adaptors, but these are advertised as 'active' converters (not passive). Since there is no analogue input pins on the DVI-D side, they must be doing an active conversion of the received digital signal to analogue VGA for output. I've been reading the cheap ones don't work very well with high resolutions etc and reading some amazon reviews it looks like they also have trouble with sleep/wake functionality. Thanks, this video helped me understand all this better.
i got the same problem.. the VGA to DVi adaptor that I bought has those 4 extra pins as well. Even removing it doesn't work.. I ended up buying VGA splitter because I want dual monitor and it worked
Needed HDMI to DVI-D but the cable oddly featured a DVI-A plug. Which is odd if you recall that HDMI only carries digital signals. And the DVI-A plug cannot be plugged into a monitor featuring a DVI-D connection. Physically doesn't fit due to the extra analog pins. I simply pulled the 5 analog pins from the DVI-A plug and it worked just fine for me. The pins were surprisingly easy to pull because they were not connected to anything anyway.
This cannot work by principe. DVI-D socket on graphics card or other source can transmit digital signal only. Pins that you removed are supposed to carry analog signal and work also as foolproofing to prevent inserting DVI-A or DVI-I to VGA passive adapter into DVI-D socket which cannot output analog signal ;) For your card you should use DisplayPort to VGA port
I did it and it worked. But only if the adapter is not to vga, since vga is analog and those pins that he broke provide the analog signal. I did that to a dvi to hdmi adapter and it worked flawlessly (I also had to make the big pin narrower cause the dvi-i big pin is wider than the big dvi-d port, I guess it's a marketing strategy for you to buy another adapter instead of simply breaking/ pulling out the 4 analog pins. I pulled them out with a narrow long forceps and they came in a piece after a little struggle)
just pull the pins out with a pair of long nose pliers, including the ground tab as it is too wide to fit dvi-d female socket. Job done, works on my monitor.
I made that mistake.. I bought dvi i instead of D.. I somehow managed to remove the four pins.. Crush the remaining a bit. But it still doesn't fit.. I'm very confused at this point and frustrated because I didn't know the difference between the 2 and when I bought it.. The guy didn't even ask which port i had. Now I think I'll get a vga to hdmi cable /adapter. *sighs
I think you must have had a DVI to HDMI adaptor. Those 4 extra pins (C1-C4) are for analogue VGA signal. If you remove them your VGA cable is no longer connected to anything on the DVI side, so it can't work for VGA I think. Only digital (HDMI).
No dude?!?! You just ruined a perfectly fine adapter! What you need to have a DVI-I port on your video card vga to work and to be able to get an analog signal out of it. Because VGA is an analog display medium. The converter you dremeled the hell out of was the correct adapter you needed for it to work however your video card does not have the DVI-I (digital and analog) port, it only has the DVI-D (digital only) DVI port. Get a Hdmi monitor and then get a DVI to HDMI converter and your pc will work cause HDMI is a digital unlike VGA
Uh in his graphic card there is hdmi too cus i got gtx 1050ti oc edition of zotac and it has dvi - d, hdmi and other one i dont know Btw i have a analog display rip me
Damn. The same for me. I just got a new video card and got the wrong adapter. It was too late to get a new one from the shop so I bent the 4 pins and sculpted the flat pin to be a bit skinnier. It did not work. Was afraid I'd do something bad to the video card itself though.
the adaptor dvi d only work digitally and doesnt have power energy, it cant transform the signal to analog vga so you need "dvi d to vga active connector"
Yep, those extra pins he removed are used to transfer analog signal which is what vga signal is. You need an active converter to transform digital dvi output to analog vga.
U need a passive dvi card. They r idiot proof. You can make a cable modified to fit start if u needed too good luck, watch for screen glitxhing and temperature of cable u turned low voltage into high
Não pegou. Não funciona assim. Tem o adaptador correto pra isso, pois são justamente os 4 pinos que ele tirou que transmitem o sinal VGA que ele queria.
was looking for this exact video wth was i thinking lol
me too from 2020
Same did it work for u?
Lol. I am one of you fam ❤

Thanks for posting this. I have the same problem and was about to try it myself, now I know it won't work.
i got the same problem.. the VGA to DVi adaptor that I bought has those 4 extra pins as well. Even removing it doesn't work.. I ended up buying VGA splitter because I want dual monitor and it worked
Grateful i found this - I was just considering whether or not it would be worth the effort to modify my own adapter.
lol damn i was looking at my adapter lol XD and was like probably someone has it on youtube !! and bam!! haha Thanks man

so you pulled out the big flat one on the right as well? (Am about to do this...)
This only works if your adapter is hdmi --> dvi cause it still has the digital signal. Those four pins are analog and support the vga
Thanks duke, was about to do the same thing.
Henrè Reyneke I did :(
Me too.
Hallelujah! We live in an age where even stoves need DVI ports
thanks to you...i didn´t destroy a dvi-i ..very helpfull video...God bless you.
bought a converter that works for 5 euro.. saves me a lot of trouble

Thanks alot a second ago I was going to do that 😆😋

Did you say the neither the modified dvi-i nor a real dvi-d worked? If so I'd say it's inconclusive...
just pull the pins out with a pair of long nose pliers, including the ground tab as it is too wide to fit dvi-d female socket. Job done, works on my monitor.
Cool story bro
@@Julio7514 185mph on a gsxr1000 a better story?
I was looking for this comment on how it would work, because I doubted what the uploader did. Thanks for this info and I will try it now.
Wat did u use to cut da big pin
@@katlehoselepe4091 i pulled it with the pliers. Comes straight out.

Same lol.my monitor dont suport vgi and hdmi...sad
Excelente, quien iba a imaginar, pero funcionó, muchas gracias!
acabo de recuperar la fe xd
En quée tipo de DVI lo hiciste?
@@striatha parece dvi-i
@@ricardomartehernandez6905 yo tengo uno pero es DVI A. El eliminar esas parte elimino lo analógico que es lo del VGA
En el video indica que no le funciono y después compro un adaptador hdmi- vga
I know why this didn't work. DVI- D port from the GPU only outputs digital signal and you are using VGA port on the monitor which needs analog signal.
VGA is analog, he removed the analog part of the DVI connector lol
where part?
@@rizkiadisaputra5971 the four pins on the right send the rgb signal
It works but a didn't need a drill, I just pulled out the 4 pins around the horizontal conector.
wait actually did it work

Get a Hdmi monitor and then get a DVI to HDMI converter and your pc will work cause HDMI is a digital unlike VGA
(y)
Thats literally what he is testing...
You've missed the entire point of the video---everything you said was known. He was trying to avoid having to buy a DVI-D adaptor.
Uh in his graphic card there is hdmi too cus i got gtx 1050ti oc edition of zotac and it has dvi - d, hdmi and other one i dont know
Btw i have a analog display rip me
I came here just for pointless destruction, so I was pleased :D ( knew that like ten years already )
Thank you for this information. You saved my DVI-I Adapter. 5:07 the very cute baby :-)
so it didnt work
iam too
Same,xd
DVI-D connector has only digital signal. VGA is analog signal
Hello thanks for posting Just bought a r9 fury and was about to try to make that to my dvi adapter.
The crying baby 😂😂😂
I just bend the 4 pins inside with screwdriver. that tooks 5 sec lol. but still didnt work. i didnt know there were differents between DVI's
Damn. The same for me. I just got a new video card and got the wrong adapter. It was too late to get a new one from the shop so I bent the 4 pins and sculpted the flat pin to be a bit skinnier. It did not work. Was afraid I'd do something bad to the video card itself though.
Thanks for doing this, now we all know.
I was actually thinking the very same thing, thankfully I saw your video before I could ruin my DVI-I adapter😅😅😅
Thanks for the video mate👍🏾💯💯💯
haha we think alike.....if it wont fit i make you fit you bastard cable
😂😂
Will it work on hdmi?
it doesn't work with my new GT 740 videocard and old monitor. And now i have useless adapter
WORKS ONLY for digital not analog. would work if cable was to hdmi
Thanks for sharing. I just want to do the same. Thanks for the information
Thanks a lot for video, i know it wont work but i must try it.
the adaptor dvi d only work digitally and doesnt have power energy, it cant transform the signal to analog vga so you need "dvi d to vga active connector"
Thanks for sharing, this video really help me
Did it work?
@@mikael4984 I don’t know. I did not try it yet.
Always worth a try :)
Worked?
@@walkingdead2604 no
can someone tell me if it worked?
I am Brazilian, so I didn't get it right if it worked or not.
Can someone help me please.
Não funcionou. mas se for fazer no cabo acho que funciona!
it would ve only worled if it was a hdmi-dvi-d
This is really work?
Thanks man had the same situation and this saved me so much effort
DVI-D is larger
the horizontal pin
Yep, those extra pins he removed are used to transfer analog signal which is what vga signal is. You need an active converter to transform digital dvi output to analog vga.
good one. i dont understand the why there are higher dislikes here,.?!
Hi, You can find those DVI-D to VGA adapters but unfortunately they dont work either. Strange that they make those useless adapters. :-(
U need active converter not passive one
U need a passive dvi card. They r idiot proof. You can make a cable modified to fit start if u needed too good luck, watch for screen glitxhing and temperature of cable u turned low voltage into high
ty! From Brazil.
Thank you, I almost did it
Same
it wont fit for me because the big pin on the side is to big to fit in the rx 570 it needs a smaller pin.
LMAO I've done this I fold the 4 pins and didn't work lol
you cut the dvi adapter, and ended up using the hdmi cable
Not working for vga monitor..
Muchas gracias amigo
Work or not work ?
Lol i did this and broke my adapter and saw the video. rofl should have seen the video first :D :D :D
Very interesting, but.... fixing the camera, no?
Even Wakaliwoods cameraman holds his camera properly while action goes on. What wrong with autor? Is he epileptic?
an 850w for that
Ajudou muito mas um like , Visto do Brazil !
dvi d is 100% digital signal, that is why it's not compatible with vga / dvi-d / dvi-a
You can be a good dentist
work or not?
da pra vc tira a blindagem e mais faço
vc fez e deu certo???
I wish they would've shown the baby...cute noises he/she was making. I just wanted to kiss the crap out of him/her :))))
i found that annoying
In the reflection @ 5:05
Can I fit dvi-d cable into dvi-i?
th-cam.com/video/G7vZ7cfE-LM/w-d-xo.html
Bruh. you should probably start the video with a no this will not work. So people don't think its a fucking tutorial and follow along.
analog to digital , no no no .
Thanks a lot!
bro... it works on mine, lol thanks
did it work for you?
not working
I also tried and did work. LOL
lies lies lies...
I cut a hole in the front of my wife's high heel shoes to see if they fitted me....The result was pretty much the same....
I tryed it my self, don't work :(
красава. Молодец!
i better not f**k up my new RX580
hahaha, please buy dvi-d +1 not dvi-d +5
Good thing I didnt try it
Ai sim em cara
Thanks
Not work
Обьясните русскому
you just destroyed near solid gold pin, genius
Not that much gold and He could always save the shavings and combine it with more gold to get a little lump
😂😂 dude what are doing
BORING!
ooouuggghh
pegou ??
tbm quero saber :(
Não pegou. Não funciona assim. Tem o adaptador correto pra isso, pois são justamente os 4 pinos que ele tirou que transmitem o sinal VGA que ele queria.
Isso não funciona... O dvi-d só transmite sinal digital, o monitor VGA não reconheceria... Precisa ter um conversor...
lol
fkn gtx pascal video card, with a vga monitor! brilliant.
Dude learn to use your brain, it's an adaptor not a cable, a cable could've worked.
cable's definitely not working
Thanks duke, was about to do the same thing.
thanks
thanks
