if the cable is busted, you have to replace it. modern lcd monitors are easy to replace. but, older crt monitors have the cables inside the casing, soldered into the circuit board. the only choice there is to re-solder the plug back onto the cable.\n\nif you are talking about the one on the computer, then replace the video card. if it is on-board video, you can still buy another video card and disable the onboard through bios.

We had what we thought was a dead monitor at the library I work at.  Turned out that the vga connector into the CPU was loose.  The tech jiggled the connection and the monitor came back on.  Hope I explained it correctly.

The problem most likely is with the new card Dell computers are made with specific parts for Dell computers even a Dell specific version of windows (that's why I hate Dell computers being that I would rather upgrade) the card even though having the same specifications as your old one is not the Dell model. My best answer would be to see if the computer is still under warranty of the store you brought it from (since you opened it Dell has probably voided their warranty) they might be able to fix your old broken video card.

Ok, this is going to sound weird, but get a powerdrill and tape 2 magnents to the drill bit.  Rev it up all the way and then move it coloser to the computer.  It will "degause" the monitor.  This is handy if your monitor doesent have a built in degauser

I was looking at the D1226H on the Dell website and I do not see a USB bay, but perhaps you have a slightly different model.\n\nUsually USB bays on a monitor are designed for you to be able to plug in external devices and allows you to "daisy-chain" these devices so that the wires from the mouse and/or keyboard do not have to also be run over to the actual PC, making for shorter distances to cover and easier access.\n\nYou can try this: Take a webcam or digital camera and plug it into the USB port on the monitor. The PC should play a sound and tell you "Found New Hardware" if it is an active plug&play port.

There is usually some standardization in the industry for monitor to computer connections.  I took a Gateway monitor and had no problems in connecting it to a Dell computer.  You would most likely have no problems either!

No need for a new laptop, painless job infact.\n\nChange the LCD. Go to www.screentek.com and they have a whole list of compatible laptops that the monitor is for.\n\nIn order to get it off, is like snapping the plastic food boxes from restaurants: http://www.screentekinc.com/lcd-removal-instructions.shtml.\n\nOr, buy the screen from eBay, but as it's not new, I don't now how good it still is.

The flyback transformer is cracked.\nFlybacks are expensive.\nGenerally, it's cheaper to get a new monitor unless it's like a 21" or something.\nOk, I am not going to say 100% that it's the flyback, sometimes the power supply can whine too, but that is rarely combined with a bad smell. I'd say about 95% it's the flyback.

Check the cabling between the monitor and the PC. It may be a bad connection.

I don't know if this helps, but a computer won't recognize just a cable, there has to be something attached to the other end
