As a repair shop, it is your job to repair the broken thing, not just sell them a new one. A big shielded molded cable can be fixed, either at the connector or replacing the whole cable where it terminates into the PCB. If I had known about a shop disposing of 500-700$ monitors with bad cables, I would have made a fortune.
- bigstrat2003 3y agoAs I have said, I had no idea you could fix such a thing. Hell I didn't even know that until this very thread, much less 20 years ago. As such it was not in the least malicious (ignorant perhaps, but that's a separate thing). In any case, your unfounded criticism of my moral character is really irrelevant to the main point I made: it was totally possible to fuck up plugging in D-sub connectors, and I witnessed multiple people who had done so.
- nerpderp82 3y agoI apologize, my comment was too strong. I am sure many shops did this, probably because they got into retail when the home computer market was booming and weren't yet skilled in repair.
