Pc Repair Shops? Monitor lead.

    As some of you main remember i had to replace the monitor lead on my 19" Gericom. well it didn't work, and think its time i bring the monitor to a repair place.

    The cable was sealed to the back of the monitor and would like it replaced with a female port so i can easily replace the cable in future should i need to.

    Anyway since i've never had to bring a pc related problem to a 'specialist' and i'm wary of them, lots of chancers around, i'm looking for recomindations.

    So any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Alo.

    TBH I dont know if its a job that a PC "tech" should do.

    monitors are a science all of their own.

    noticed the website for karting, you might like mine:

    No don't. They're hideously expensive.

    already had it open etc' was unplugged for like 2weeks, maybe it wasn't enough but then again i'm still here :)

    i know what has to be done, just i cant' do it. hate that.

    tv's a bit handier than the old monitor. grrr, will try a few local places. i was just hoping there would be some sort of specialist place.

    Gideon,

    You might try these guys. They had a minimum charge, but it's a long time since I dealt with them. You could give them a call first.
