I did this a couple years ago on somone's MAG/Innovision 17" monitor. They
hacked-apart the VGA-connector end trying to pull the thing apart to bring it
to my house for repair. I ended up ordering one from MAG and with a bit of
do-ing, it was repaired and okee-dokee. I dont recall if it was a plug-in
somewhere inside, or if I had to solder it, but I do know it wasn't that hard
once I had the right parts.

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.
