Video Monitor jack repair, Power and signal

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on repairing a broken jack on a Fahrenheit 7” LCD Wide Color Vision monitor. The user seeks assistance in identifying which of the 8 pins on the female connector correspond to the 12 pins on the board for power and video signals. A recommended approach involves using a multimeter to trace connections between the DIN connector and the PCB. Alternatively, contacting the manufacturer for pinout information is suggested, although this may yield uncertain results.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of LCD monitor components and connectors
  • Familiarity with soldering techniques for electronic repairs
  • Knowledge of using a multimeter for electrical testing
  • Basic electronics principles related to power and signal transmission
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to use a multimeter to trace pin connections in electronic devices
  • Learn soldering techniques specific to PCB repairs
  • Investigate common pinout configurations for DIN connectors
  • Explore resources for contacting manufacturers for technical support
USEFUL FOR

Video Monitor Jack repair

I have a Fahrenheit 7” LCD Wide Color Vision monitor that has a broken jack.

From the monitor is only this female connector:

Then there is a cable that goes from 8 pins to 24 pins (I count 12 on each half?):

Next after that cable is the box, where the jack broke. The power and video for the monitor are fed by a cable from this box.

The broken jack is lost so I’ll have to figure out which of the 8 pins correspond to the 12 on the board.

Please help! How do I figure out which pins supply the power and the correct video signals.

Welcome to PhysicsForums!

Are you going to attempt to cut off the jack end and then solder the wires directly onto the PCB? If so, I'd locate another unit and use a multimeter to figure out which pins on the din connector connect to which pads on the PCB. If you don't have another unit, you could try to contact the manufacturer, but getting information like that is always kind of iffy.
