    Turn a Plug'n Play Monitor to non plug'n play?

    I need to replace one of my bench monitors and I can't find one that is non plug n play. I have chosen all my bench monitors so they specificaly don't have plug'n play and are capable of a fairly high refresh rate. I have found that this allows me to avoid the inevitable telephone call about why the screen is the wrong size when the customer gets their computer home.
    Is there a specific pin on the db-15 monitor cable that controls this? Maybe I could pull it out? Any other ideas?

    Pin - nope, more likely chip. I mend monitors, and I wouldn't like to go hunting for i, just to d/c it, as that probably wouldn't work anyway.

    If memory serves, there is a pin...I know I have the common pinout standard at home from when I had to solder on a new end - not fun. Will do some checking in the meantime, though.

    Here is one site with a pinout map:

    Not sure what the ID bits are for...perhaps someone else can shed some light.
