How Do You Change A Monitor Cable?
The monitor cable is the route whereby information and images from your PC are transferred and displayed on your monitor screen. When you replace a cable, you need to use the right cable and ports for the connection between your monitor and your PC. Locate the appropriate ports for connecting the monitor to your PC. The ports are in the back of the monitor and the back of the PC. Remove the malfunctioning cable by unscrewing the ferrite cores located on the sides of the cable connection to both the PC and the monitor. Connect the new cable to the appropriate port on the monitor and to the port on the PC marked with the monitor symbol. You will see that the configuration of each port is a mirror image of the configuration of the cable attachment. Turn on the monitor first, then the PC, and check for the normal start up display on the screen, to make sure that your monitor is properly connected to the PC.
