Hi all, got inspired to dust off the old cube and power on for the first time in about 6 years. It won't power on and I'm assuming the battery. Some quick questions:
- What's the correct replacement battery?
- What are the various monitor cable lengths? Mine is a measly 2ish feet?
- Is there any quick way to connect to a modern HDMI/DP monitor from my cube?
Appreciate the help!
Hi DanB,
best information about battery can be found here:

Is it a Dimension cube?
Cheers, Nuss
Thanks Nuss!
I was able to find a (hopefully) suitable replacement battery which should arrive tomorrow. The cube is mono, no Dimension (yet!!).
I would like to put some distance between the cube and the current CRT monitor if possible.
On Rob's photos and videos, he is using a flatscreen monitor. Not sure if this is a special sync on green or if there's a cable or box that allows me to output on any modern display.
Hello Danb: I have them here
https://www.ebay.com/itm/273964546123 VGA works and you will need to use your sound card in the NeXT monitor or I sell brian archers 3rd party card for $149.95 . No sunche on green required as it is mono 2 bit grey scale but 4:3 not wide is recommended . Best regards Rob blessin
