[SOLVED] VGA to DVI adapter ?

[MightyLule]

Hello guys... i bought today vga to dvi-a adapter in the store today, thats the only adapter they had
I connected it to my tv in vga port, then connected dvi cable to it from my gpu
The problem is, there is no signal to the tv... but pc booted up, everything works but there is no video output on my tv ?

... i know that everything works because when i connect gpu to my smaller monitor everything works just fine
I think the problem is vga to dvi adapter
It says on the package that its DVI-A type of adapter... what does that mean?
Do i need different type of adapter then?

You need an active converter VGA to DVI adapter that will convert analogue VGA to digital DVI. There are many adapters that are not active converters. Can you show us the exact adapter that you purchased?

What is make/model name of your gpu?

Can you show a photo of video outputs on your gpu?
Also show a photo of connectors on your dvi-a to VGA adapter and DVI cable.
May also show photo of video input on your tv.

dvi-a is analog, since he doesnt have signal with analog on both sides, then gpu has digital output
he needs to go from digital to analog
DVI-D to vga adapter is needed

You're using wrong DVI cable (DVI-D single link). It has no wiring for analog signal.
You need DVI-A or DVI-I cable instead.

Cable ends should look like this:
