Hi All.
I'm - ashamed to say it - slightly stumped.
I've a machine on the bench - an Inspiron 5305 - that's got an extra graphics card in. Fine, there's also the onboard graphics so I'm using that whilst I sort out the main problem of freezing at boot.
However, to test it properly, I need to be able to connect to the main graphics and I can't. And haven't got anything in my box of adaptors.
And I haven't a clue what this thing's called to find an adaptor. Can't find anything online that's the same.
It looks just like a DVI. The overall shape/size is identical. But rather than a series of pin sockets and then the blade on the far right, it's just pin sockets right across although very similar in style to what you'd expect from a DVI. A DVI>VGA adaptor won't fit because there's no provision for the blade part of the adaptor.
I'm presuming it's a DVI derivative but I can't find anything online, does anyone know what this blasted thing is called so I can order an adaptor?
