4-pin mini DIN pinout?????

I have a Power Acoustik LCD monitor that has a 4-pin mini DIN connector and I'm trying to determine the pinout for the connector. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Usually the connector plugs into an extension that should have come with the monitor, the extension usually has the video input, and the transformer wired into it. I will check to see the amount of pins on one of mine tomorrow.

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.

Re: 4-pin mini DIN pinout?????

I bought this new/used from ebay with the knowledge that it was incomplete. I think I will just buy a 4 pin DIN and build my own. All I really should need is a red/black for power and a RCA for the video - right?

I'm not exactly a low voltage guy, but current should be the same no matter the voltage. It's usually easier finding your mistakes with 4kV.

Hey, thanks in advance for looking. I'll probably breakdown and simply pull it apart as I should be able to easily ohm it out.

The manual came in English, but beyond that it's pretty useless.
