Well, back to the topic.


It seems that other than a lucky find on ebay or the like. That VGA connector is impossible to get these days.

Seems OP is concerned with data on his HDD, and retrieving it. I explained via PM that he could do that, with just the HDD and another computer.
AND that if he absolutely wants to get this computer working, he can still do it with a cheap vid card, although from the pictures he posted...it seems there is an exhaust fan, right where the vid card would go. :/

Needless to say, I think his best option is just remove the working HDD and attach it to another computer. OP may need to get an IDE to SATA adapter, but that would be far cheaper than any other alternative.



Let's try to stay on topic ...NOW...please. ^T^

There are no e-tailers that have that proprietary 15 pin Female VGA right angle PCB connector. So unless someone can find it on ebay or the like...he needs to get a vid card like the one I linked...or just get a new computer.

OP wants the data from his HDD, and I explained via PM that he could do that, w/o the computer in those pics.
He will probably need an IDE to SATA adapter, so he can hook it up to another computer, and retrieve his data.


This is where the OP's issue, currently stands.

No, I thought those would work as well...they don't.


The one he needs looks like this...notice how his has only two rows of pins on the PCB side. It must be a proprietary VGA connector.

seems to be a pretty common thing to happen
