[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1812449, member: 56379"] [U]Here is what was asked in post #1: [/U] There probably is a way...but you would probably need to purchase another 100% working cable to do it. Or find a 2nd all-in-one cable that got chewed by a dog (but the dog didn't destroy the mini-displayport connector part).;) Additionally...the cable may have a layer of metal foil shielding inside it which may be difficult to duplicate when trying to splice two cables together. Focusing on just replacing the mini-displayport part of the cable seems like it would be a more frugal and more cost effective (if it could be done)...the fact is these video cables are much more complex than replacing or splicing the electrical cord on a table lamp...where all there is inside is copper wire. Video cables are more complex. In post #1 it was mentioned "[I]or should I just discard the whole display?[/I]". I would certainly think replacing the all-in-one cable would be MUCH MORE preferable than discarding the whole display.:) Finally...if you cannot find a place to purchase the all-in-one cable in the UK...then order it from the United States. Lots of places to get it here.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
