My VGA cable is bent at a sharp angle right where it connects to my Graphic card. It has been so for quite some time.

It's only recently that I've been getting problems with it, i.e., I will only see Cyan, or Yellow, or Magenta, or Red, or Blue on screen, or any combination of these colors. I twist it little bit and solving problem,but it's getting worse day by day.:x

There's nothing wrong with my monitor or video card, it's only the last couple of inch of the cable that's the problem.

Is there any solution? Can i replace VGA cable?

My Monitor is SAMSUNG SYNC MASTER 591s(2004).

THANKS IN ADVANCE!:lol:

my problem was that the vga adapter on the mobo was broken
so i solved the problem by replacing the vga adapter from my local repairman

for those earlier monitor the VGA Cable is non detachable its already connected to the Monitor. Take the monitor to the vendor, he can solve the problem

yeah, you'll have to get it replaced at a repair shop coz it can't be detached.
Next time be careful not to bend the VGA cable like that as it is not very flexible.
