Just a thought really. Would it not be possible to actually cut the cable on the monitor ... and then join the cable somehow with one of better quality? I wouldn't know, as I've never seen the inside of a monitor cable, but, I would have thought that as long as you joined the right coloured wires properly and safely), then there is a chance that it may work.Is this possible?

Hi Michele,
That is a great idea but it'almost imposible to do because of the shielding inside the cables.
I have tried it once because I didn't want to spend $40 for a new cable but after 3 hours gave it up.

Actually, if your have the right cable it's only a minor job to change out. (if your handy with tools)

I've worked on many monitors over my 45 years of electronic repair and do not know of a single factual case of anyone being killed. Granted, the death stories are many and you can get shocked. However those with with bad hearts can be in danger.
