HELP! Need a Replacement Nvidia dongle!
I've been running a near perfect setup - no stuttering, no issues, happy as can be until one day the colors on my HDTV went bad. The monitor was fine, so I went to troubleshoot. Checked drivers, setttings, all config, then by accident I brushed against the Gigabyte dongle that output component video to my HDTV - the color flickered on perfectly for 2 seconds. I moved the dongle around, and the color went in and out. I checked the component cables, not issues with them. I've narrowed it to the dongle that comes with my Gigabyte 6600. Now I'm trying to replace it. Can anyone help with either a) that damn dongle that you might not want or b) where I can get one? I've logged it with Gigabyte's customer service - no response yet. Newegg says to talk to the manufacturer. I'm bidding on one on eBay, but have 5 more days to go. I'm happy to trade any humble knowledge I have of getting BTV up and running, or some reasonable compensation for said dongle. Can anyone help?
Brief rundown of my setup: Chaintech VNF-250 motherboard| Athlon XP 3200+ | 1 Gb RAM | Gigabyte 6600 silent pipe AGP 8x 256mb | Silverstone LC-17 | Theater Pro 550 | DVICO Fusion HDTV Gold | BTV 4.4 (running 84+ Forceware, latest Purevideo, and Snapstream codecs) |

Pipe down, everyone, you can ignore this. I finally got one on ebay for $10. Everything back to perfect.

Well I hoped you learned your lesson young man! Next time, don't let your dongle dangle and this won't be such an issue.
