VGA Monitor cable cut with a knife... monitor still salvageable?
 

So some MOTHER FUCKER broke into my home last night and stole my DAMN computer. He didn't know how to disconnect the VGA monitor I was using as an auxiliary display so he just sliced the cord at the end.

Is it possible to get the cable replaced? I really don't want to get a new monitor just because the VGA connector is gone.

Do I understand it correctly that the VGA cable is fully attached to the monitor, with no way to deattach it?

You could probably get another VGA cable, remove one connector at the end and then try to attach it to your monitor. That would of course involve opening the monitor casing, desoldering the old/broken cable and soldering the new cable to the now open contacts. I don't think that opening the casing and desoldering is the big problem, but since the wires in the VGA cable are rather tiny it could be a problem when you want to solder the new cable.

If you have soldered microelectronics before this should be definitely doable, otherwise get yourself someone with the needed experience.

Or maybe the monitor has additional connectors, like BNC?

It's a 6-year old CRT; the only connectors are the VGA and power cables. And yeah the VGA cable is fully attached to the monitor.

If soldering is the best option, I knew a few people who can do this.

If there is still usable length to the remaining cable, you can wire that up to a new DE15 connector. Alternatively, you could cut another VGA cable, and splice the two ends together.

Yeah, the subhuman who put me in this situation cut it right at the end, so most of the cable is still there. I don't any experience with rewiring, though. I wonder how much a service like this would cost if I took it to a place.

Buying a new connector and putting it on would be the best option, obviously.

It might be tricky, since there are many pins and you'd have to have a good soldering iron. I've never done this personally.
OR find an old monitor or device with similar connector and wire it in the middle of the cable. The cable is probably very fine strand, and will end up much bulkier when you're finished and it's wrapped, but I've done with with an Xbox controller (obviously less strands. This method would require less skill.

However there are some problems with the methods:
(i) Just attaching a new connector to the cut cable will leave you with a very short cable. Now you need an extension cable. Extension cables for VGA -> bad. Quality of transmission on standard VGA isn't good at all. Introducing even more plug/jack "changes" isn't going to make it better, it's best to avoid that.
(ii) Same goes for soldering another cut cables to the current cut cable. Introduces another point where cables/contacts are connected via soldering, which will increase resistance of the whole connection.

Take your pick.
