Do you have the cable and it’s broken..or is it totally missing? I’m assuming you need a cable with the in-line transformer too.

well i need a total replacement cable. my friend and i bought it off of Ebay and the vendor didn't give us a power cable and refuses to send one because it didn't specify that the monitor included it in the offer's text...so basically we have a useless monitor until we find this cable =/ any ideas? and yes, we'd need the transformer too.

I always have ideas ;)

Ok, a 4 AMP brick is all you need; as such you can use a laptop power supply or any 110v to 12vDC unit. 4 amps seems high, but like I said a laptop power supply will work. If the supply is more then 4 amps, no big deal, won't hurt a thing. Too small and you could possibly burn the supply up.

A word of caution, make sure the polarity is right, as in if the center pin on the monitor is + make sure your brick has the same configuration, if not cut the wire and reverse the connections.

Before you spend all that money on an untried monitor, make an adaptor wire and hook it to a 12 volt car or motorcycle or tractor battery, watching that polarity thing of course. The battery from a UPS will work for about a half hour for testing too.

Hope that helps. Hope the monitor was cheap and worth the effort

Luck
