Replacement of motherboard VGA dsub 15 connector at Digikey ormouser???

S

SAUHING LEE

My friend damaged the onboard VGA connector(D-sub 15) on the
motherboard.
Now the motherboard boots, but can't see anything. I remember there is
an option in the bios to switch the video output to PCI slot. However,
the VGA connector is damaged now, so i can't change the setting.

I have soldered the VGA connector before, and it is not very
difficult. However i run out of junk motherboards now, so i don't have
any blue color female D-sub 15 .

I check digikey and mouser,and there 're lot of confusing terms in
searching the right one.

Anyone know the part number of it?

Thanks!

Try installing the PCI video card, often a board bios
defaults to using the PCI card as the primary display if
both are installed so there would be no need to change the
bios. In some cases you can take a motherboard bios, edit
it to make the PCI the default display device then prepare a
boot floppy to do an automated flash of the bios to get the
new bios on the EEPROM without any monitor feedback of the
process. Due to the time to research it and uncertainty of
the result until finished I would think trying the PCI card
is the best thing right now.

Is this motherboard very valuable? Sometimes with older
boards, events like this are a good excuse to upgrade some
more parts of the system including the board, processor,
memory.

How about junk video cards?
I'm assuming this system doesn't have an AGP or PCIe slot,
because if it did that is another video card interface
option.

Sorry I don't know the part number. How exactly did the
current connector break? I'm wondering if it's not just the
physical connector but some torn traces leading up to it
since it would seem there might be some stress on the
connector and PCB in order to break it?

I know I had a similar issue with a component, and I called Mouser
talked to one of their engineers on staff, described the part, and the
took it from there. They got me the part number without much problem
