I'm unsure as to what i need though, as theres no pictures to what your actully buying. I want something that will bridge the gap essentially. Its 18 pins btw.


Heres what the connection on my LCD monitor looks like:

Ideas? anyone?

please excuse my impatientness, as ive been waiting quite a whilt to make this.

If anyone could just tell me if this is the right thing to buy, then it would be much appreciated.

i have the EXACT same problem as you do. i'm losing about an inch of viewable area off the top of the screen and it's killing me. i just bought a converter box from Fry's to play my xbox (Halo2) on the projector. $60, VEG LITE by Rtv. Works like a charm. the whole set up would be perfect if i could move those boards out of the way. the link you posted looks promising. i think i'll give the extension kit a try. post your results.

Yes that's "kinda" what you need, just make sure the pin count is correct and email the seller describing exactly what you're looking for (link the pic). here's an alternate store that sells various FFC extension cables: https://secure.lumenlab.com/shop/group.php?id=6 Email Brain for customized type "extender" cables.
