Please help me.....India Australia series starts in less than a week.....wont get to touch that damn tv for a month :cry5: Someone help me out........please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinitwins Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 1. vga cable - dragon or m$ (i dont think you need a hd15 coupler as lcd monitors have female vga sockets) 2. rca female to stereo female converter (check this thread for pics) - this will allow you to output audio through desktop PC speakers or your monitors inbuilt speakers V ps: set your dashboard resolution to 1280x768 to minimize stretching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity091 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 ^^Can't seem to find the dragon cable anywhere.............checked ebay, playasia and pallika bazaar.............should i go for the M$ cable then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pick up this cable from Play Asia http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-de-49-...178e-43-bn.html You will still need a female female VGA connector. And don't worry about feeling lost ! I was exactly like you, but after reading so much some stuff is finally sinking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinity091 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I know, but what is it called? What do i ask the guy in the shop for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33TWiZaRd Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Just explain how you need the cable to be dumdum. If u still can't handle that, gimme a ring and i will get one for you from palam vihar. And BTW, the Dragon cable is available at digimart and i myself purchased it from Palika 5 months back P.S: The cable is called RCA to stereo mini jack, i think (Female to Male) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DIRECTOR Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 xbox 360 crashing.......... alot well, got my VGA coupler at last. connected everything up....... all is good.... but then when i stopped playing and exited the game and came on to the dashboard........ the monitor crashed......... the screen froze with some weird arse pixel pattern. now started playing again today, playing assassins creed. now everything is going well, then when i comes to the load screen..... it crashes. then messed about with the resolution.......... then it crashes again, now it crashes in different points. same wired pixel pattern thingy comes on the screen. ive tried, when it crashes, to take the vga cable out, then put it back in. same frozen picture comes up, even disconnected the vga coupler, then reattaching it...... same picture. now, im guessing its my xbox 360. but its never ever crashed on me before. im gonna try to play on normal tv now to see what happens. but can anyone suggest a solution?

L33TWiZaRd Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 wat's with the weired resolution ? I think the problem is with your 360 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janu dilber Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 dat usually happens when u r abt to get rrod.. trust me.. iv experienced it thrice.. it will freeze frequently.. your gpu is abt to blow.... pixel problem usually occurs because of GPU malfunction.. your xbox is abt to crash .. wait for 1-2 days .. whenever u get rrod. get ur console replaced.. for dat time gimmi ur creed so dat i cn play regrds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DIRECTOR Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 well, just played another 4 hours of assassin creed, again, nothing happened, so ain't gonna touch anything now. its the first time its happened, the crashing i mean, and its the first time i setup with a monitor and vga cable. @JD: i can't get it replace, out of region = out of warranty....... so will probably need to get it repaired.

Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpt Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 thnx dude .. i read the imports forum .. so i understand they gonna charge customs on all electronic goods anyway i just wanted to kno are these dragon cables available in india??? any1 kno whr 2 get it in hyderabad??

Bulovski Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 ^^ try free shipping - it takes time, they'll bubble wrap it. the chances are it will slip through without duty. not sure about availability in hyd. don't even know if it's there in palika - read somewhere else about it being available there a year(!) back.
