Broken mount on back of monitor to base

the easiest solution would be to epoxy the mount back though you may loose ability to tilt monitor, be sure not block any air holes. when setting together tape it to proper spot and let set for recommended time on epoxy(get at hardware store).

How to connect my speakers to my monitor

you will not be able to connect your speakers to your 940BW monitor, because the monitor itself does not have any audio in/outs (or speakers for that matter).

what you will need to do, is to hook up to your computer tower. usually, most soundcards will colour-code the 3.5mm jacks you need green (although I have seen cards that have black jacks as well).
