Hi everyone,
This isn't a repair question per se but I'm wondering if you can help
me out. I just acquired and repaired my sons 32" flat screen Sony
kv-32hs500. The set had the common chip replacement issue with the
series of blinking lights from the front led. The tv works great now
but he is interested in using the set for HD. At first glance I
believed the set to have a standard DVI input but upon further review
the connector is nothing like I have seen before. I did a little
research on DVI connectors. I found this very helpful:

It appears that DVI-D single link is the closest yet on the television
there are 2 vertical pins right next to the large flat horizontal
pin. I took a screen shot of the image from the manual :

with this connector? Would a standard DVI-D single link connector
work or is this a proprietary Sony cable? What purpose if any do
those vertical pins serve? Any help you can provide me would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jesse
