Mini DVI to VGA adapter not working

Hello -
I just purchased a new Mini DVI to VGA adapter to use with my Mac Book. The day I bought it I plugged it in and worked great! Now after disconnecting it and reconnecting back to my Mac Book things are not so good. When I hook everything up to each other the monitor shows "no signal". Using Systems Preferences/Detect Display does not help at all. Am I missing something obvious here? I'm a new Mac junkie.

Mac Book, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Here is an Apple article on the subject of having no video on an external monitor. It's written about the Mac mini, but it applies equally to any other Mac.

And here is another Apple article that is more generalized and with fewer suggestions, though it might be a good place to start from. Good luck.
