so i am making a VGA cable for the PSOne lcd mod, and running into some things that im not sure are proper for a vga cable...
i used a multimeter to determin which cable go to which pins, and wrote this down.
i need to have 3 pins (RGB grounds) all tied to one solder point on the lcd, which is no big deal.
So when i open the cable, the first thing i see is a metal "mesh" similar to the sleeving material or chinese finger trap pattern. I test continuity of this, and it seems to be ground (well to the pins that i want.
There is also foil directly under this.....why? is this normal? why foil?
so after i solder everything and i test conitnuity, i find that the ground metal mesh, is connected to the metal face of the pins at the connector.....is this faulty?
