VGA Port Not Working.

[Justin Douville]

I have been running a gt520 on my PC for 4 months now, (upgrade from a 6800) it has been working fine since the beginning of April, it seems that the VGA port isn't working... but all the rest (DVI, HDMI) do. I haven't had time to take a proper look at it until today. I'd like a second opinion before I take it to someone at a repair shop. I don't really have enough money to spend probably most of it on something as small as this.

Much appreciated,
Justin

If your video card is new, you can as for an RMA. If not, just use the other ports.

The best you can do with the non functioning VGA ports is to clean in, blow dust out of it.

If still not functioning, then it means either the port itself has reached is plug-unplug cycle (vga or dvi arent meant to be plugged in and out thousands of times, thats why there are screws with every cable) or your VGA cable needs replacement.

I have already tried plugging in my laptop to the monitor with the same cable as what i use my desktop on. It's not the cable. :S
