i use a nvidia 5600 xfx. ive jut noticed that the moniotr cable has 2 pins missing...and there are holes where they sould have been. could the pins have fallen out? is there any way to replace them? im pretty sure that that is the problem

i dont think the fuse has gone, as the power LED will light when the monitor has been turned on. dont suppose paper clips broke and jammed it will conduct the singnal will it? :p lol
