I have guides that show me how to convert the Atari ST monitor cable into SCART and VGA. (however I have no soldering skills)
All the lines carry certain signals which seem easily rerouted.

Are you telling me this because you know or because you *think*? It all seems pretty pessimistic to me.

Have a look at this.

Here's some of the inner workers. There is another connector inside which may look familiar to somebody.

I don't think that ST->VGA adaptor will work at all as you are going in the wrong direction.

That adaptor allows a video source that originates from a ST style output to be plugged into a standard analog VGA monitor. What you are trying to achieve is the opposite i.e take a std vga output and connect it up to a monitor that accepts an ST style monitor input

Yeah sorry :/ I've got 2 threads asking about this and I said that in the other one but not this.

Nevertheless is would still help if I found either or.

I'm gonna tell ya again. That may be the same connector, bit that pinout or adapter will not help you. It is not meant for this screen.

You sound like you might know alot, so please share. Do you see a way I could make this work?

Unless you get the connector's pinout for this unit, there's no way to make it work. It would require some knowledge on electronics to figure it out.
Take it to a repair shop and let them do it for you.

All I really know is that that isn't the right adapter. You'll need to find a datasheet, or trace it out yourself, or bring it to someone.
