I also fixed the screen for a new one.
As you can see, the old one is full of lines.

This post is brilliant. You should post some clear pics!

So what do you do with the other 25 pins?

All the other pins (7+9+14+16+18+24) at the DSub should be connected to the all odd pins except 25 at the IDC connector.

i solder one wire to the pins (7+9+14+16+18+24) and on every end I do 5 of the 30 odd wires.

thx

@Peter Project
50 - 19 = 31 - 1 (cable 25) = 30 / 6 (7+9+14+16+18+24) = 5
you forget one. I thin it is cable 22.

@fhl
i get it on ebay with luck. i wait a long time before i found it.
