Does HDMI to VGA cable work?

So i was trying to get my Odroid up and running and it only works with HDMI for the monitor, but my 2 monitors are only DVI or VGA… So i bought a HDMI to VGA cable earlier and just got it this evening…

I boot up the device, its clearly ticking away as the lights are flashing on the device, but my monitor never kicks on… if that cable wont work, then im kinda stuck in the water.

Any suggestions, besides buying a new monitor lol, i dont remember having this issue with HA on a Raspberry PI.

The 2nd concern i have now, is that since its booted up and i cant see what its displaying, is it safe to just unplug the power?

Should i have gotten a HDMI to DVI cable instead? Im ok buying another cable vs a new monitor

This should work

Glad to say that this cable worked… HDMI to DVI
IM up and running, setting things up
