It depends on which end the break is on, monitor side or computer side.
Tight quarters to replace and solder a 15 pin high density connector if
it is the computer end of the cable. Much easier of a task if you have
the tools to crimp the pins on the end of the wire and then insert into
the connecter. Monitor end of the cable is not normally much of a
problem, but also not normally where the break occurs unless the monitor
is pushed back against something like a wall.

This is a good one for Russ, but if you are careful, this should not be
that hard to do. Assuming you have a CRT, be (damned!) careful of high
voltage from the tube. Otherwise, just remove the cover on the monitor
and check the connections. They used to be soldered on TV sets, and I
haven't opened a monitor for several years. Once you pull the cover you
will see how things are connected.
In my workshop I have a monitor that runs 24/7. The cord/switch went out
years ago, and I just "fixed" it so I can use it to build/repair
computers.

Is it hard to replace these things? It seems I have a losse wire
(or two)
on one of my monitors. You wiggle it, the screen turns from Red
to Blue
to Yellow. :-O I think it turned green on time.
