    VGA generates a differing signal than HDMI, S-Video, Composite, Component, ect. To become ready to convert VGA to HDMI correctly, you are going to require to find a ‘special’ conversion box. Obtain one from Amazon that might include L+R audio towards the HDMI output and it will work great: http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Multimedia-Digital-Converter-100~240V/dp/B001I2RZ0W/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1283190006&sr=8-4

      This is correct. It will nto work coz the VGA output is Analog and you need a digital converter box to convert the analog to digital and feed to HDMI.

    VGA to HDMI cables are scams. It will not work.
    Send it back back for their money back and report the seller.

    VGA is analog
    HDMI is digital
    You require a converter in between.

    Potential issues:
    1. Wire just isn’t correctly connected (directional)
    2. Wire is defective (not connecting)
    3. Wire is incompatible (not for your personal device)
    4. Connection not established (software not installed)
    5. Device not found (not installed on computer)

    Possible Solutions:
    1, Confirm if wire has input/output end
    2. See if wire works on other devices
    3. See if wire is “device-specific”
    4. Install software for device via the net
    5. Confirm if the 780 has “registered “ ;.
