I could use some help correcting a problem. We have a store display Super Nintendo model M80C p/n 22801 with Zenith monitor C15MNTC1 1991 vintage. In moving, we accidentally pulled the 5 wires out of the DB9 connector on monitor. They go on pins 1,3,4,5,8. My wire colors are: Black, White, Red, Green, and a bare wire. These wire colors are different than what I have seen in other posted messages.
Any advice would surely be appreciated.
Best Regards,,

Hi FredJ !
I could not find info on your monitor, but found a service manual for other Zenith monitor. Here are the pinouts, assuming that they all share the same DB9 connector with identical pinouts:
QuotePin Signal
== =====
1 Ground
2 Reserved
3 Red
4 Green
5 Blue
6 Intensity

8 H sync
9 V sync

QuoteThey go on pins 1,3,4,5,8.
That would be Ground, Red, Green, Blue and H sync.

You could try connecting them together the following way:

Best of luck and keep us posted.
Keep the scene alive !

Thank you for the reply Eidis. I'm thinking the wire that looks black to me cold actually be dark blue. So, my bare ground wire on pin 1; red, green, blue, n pins 3,4,5. Then both vert and horizontal sync must come in on the white wire to pin 8. I will try this week end and keep you posted.
Thanks again for the help.

Ok, so I finally got back to this project. Connected the DB9 as described (with black wire being blue) and all is working good. Many thanks for the help!
