Bent or broken pins

Isn't it a VGA cable?(15 pins-3 rows of 5 pins,slightly staggered.There is a 15 pin D-sub connector(2 rows of pins)-usually for extending a joystick cord on a PC.

assuming you have a VGA monitor, disconnect the video cable and inspect the pins. Check to make sure that the pins are not bent/crushed or missing (there should be 15 pins in 3 rows). You may need to look at both sides of the cable. If they are crushed/bent, replace the cable if possible. If not possible (because your cable is hard wired to the monitor), try VERY GENTLY to straighten the pins

This is more likely to be a problem with the connection between the graphics card & the monitor. The connection might be loose at one of the ends. Another possibility is that the cable connecting the graphics card & the monitor is damaged & needs to be replaced. Also, it might be because of a damaged VGA socket. Check the VGA socket for broken or bent pins.

Generally this problem arises due to faulty monitor Signal cable or by broken fins of VGA cable.check your monitor connectors for bent or broken pins. usually happens after swapping cables or monitors on a computer.you could also have a bad cable or monitor.

Is the monitor a CRT or a flat panel.... loss of one color is very common on CRT monitors, and could be a bad solder connection on the CRT driver board, or a bad video chip..... flat panel LCD monitors don't usually lose a color, although it is possible.... the most common failures on LCD flat panels is total power supply failure (no power at all) or display matrix driver failure (colored stripes across or down the screen), but a cable failure is also possible, like i said above, check the connectors for bent or broken pins..... there are 3 rows of pins...... at the widest side of the connector, there should be at least 3 pins next to each other on that row (sometimes there are 5), the middle row should at least have 3 consecutive pins as well (and again, there are sometimes 5)
the last row (the smaller side of the connector) should have at least two (but sometimes all 5) pins in it. the first row and last row of pins should line up vertically, and the middle row is offset a half a space, so from top to bottom, the columns of pins make a zigzag...... if the connectors are alright, then your most likely problem is the monitor..... if another monitor works on the computer, it's the monitor..... if another monitor has the same problem on this computer, then it is the video card (or the motherboard's video output, which is fixable by installing a video card)

Check the pins out on the monitor and make sure they are straight, even and none of them are bent cause if the cable goes in with bent pins that would cause weird colors to come up on the screen.

Also make sure its connected to the video card properly as well and snug. If that still doesn't fix it, try another known working monitor on the computer and if that works then the lcd is bad on your original monitor, if you still get green even with a new monitor then its a problem with your video card.

Bent/broken card reader pins. Take a flash light and look inside the card reader. There you'll see two rows of pins, 1or 2 will be bent (common problem).

check the pins in the cf slot.. should be two even rows and straight... probably needs repair

Needs repair service.

Are they bent or broken off? If they are only bent you could carefully straighten them. If they have broken you would have to replace the connector which I believe is a 22 pin connector.

Look at this link for more technical information on replacement of this connector:
