GF3 Ti200

[pirred908]

I have a GeForce 3 Ti200 with a monitor pin stuck inside the 15-pin VGA port. Anyway of getting it out? If not should I use the heatsinks off the video ram on my 9800? If yes, where could I get some good thermal adhesive?

about the only thing that came to mind when i tried to visualize this is getting a thin piece of wire, and trying to attach it to the broken pin with some solder and hope you don't goober it up or it isn't in so deep that it would attach to the female part of the socket.

was pin 15 one of the ones that affected the actual video output? don't remember, i think pin 12 for example could be removed without issues...

It wasn't litterally pin 15. I was just describing the type to connector it was. If I were to just plug another monitor into it would that work or would it jam everything up?

sounds like you're pretty boned if you can't get @ the wire w/ needlenose pliers
