Daughter broke vga onboard monitor connector completely off motherboard. I re-installed a gforce 210 gpu that previously worked great in this same machine but I am unable to change the video output to pci-e in bios setup because I can't view the monitor. Any suggestions, please. Maybe log the exact keystrokes to make this change successfully & post here or ??? Please help if you can, I really like this machine.
Thank you
Rod

How bad is the break? It may be possible to have an engineer solder the connection back onto the board. Aside from that, mimicking keystrokes sounds like a bad idea when it comes to navigating the BIOS. Your best bet might be to do a BIOS reset, so that it will have factory defaults, which might allow you to run a GPU on boot.

What is your mobo make/model?
