The price of entry shouldn't be rolling your own cables, and you can't find an electronics shop that's actually useful around my area for hell nor high water. As I've said before, I'm worthless at soldering. We know that some of the NT minis have defective D-SUB connectors, so why are we assuming that it's the cable that's the issue when one of the cables I'm using is the exact one that they say you should use. I'll test continuity on the component cable to the best of my ability but I can't promise anything.

Doesn't change the fact the suggested component cable doesn't work properly.

For some reason only one pin seems to work for continuity, which doesn't seem like enough at all.

I used the Analogue-suggested Monoprice VGA->Component cable, and a more generic convertor for S-vid/Composite as I couldn't find any Monoprice ones in the UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0064XJ5SA/

Not sure how to go about doing that. I'm not a deft hand with a soldering iron and don't know my way around electronics; I'm just an end-user with a very slight bit of know-how: a software guy, not a hardware guy. Even if I did know how there's no way I trust myself to do anything to the NT mini.

This would be invaluable for myself, as I'm stuck with a defective unit, but given I'm in the UK I can't afford to ship it to America and back just to get it repaired. In my case, it thinks my Component YPbPr cables as Composite/S-vid, and none of my TVs accept the signal (I have to use my XRGB-mini). Here's an image of what it looks like when using the Component cables running through the XRGB-mini https://i.imgur.com/1DloQlt.png I straight-up can't figure out what it thinks my Composite/S-vid cable is, as no TV I have, nor the XRGB-mini, will accept it. I've tried all varieties of sync and standard, but have just had no luck getting it working properly.
