I have an 8 year old computer I just started messing with. The video suddenly stopped working. It looks like the connector is soldered to the mother board.
Is there anything I can do to salvage this ? I noticed that there are some USB to VGA devices out there... are they plug and play suck that I would see the screen simply by plugging one of them in between the computer and monitor. Without video I can do anything to config the setup. Would some sort of VGA card work plug and play. Not sure what to try. |
