Instead of working out which part of the cord was not working and having to buy a new cord and/or connection i decided to just get a new screen
I now have a 24 inch LCD Monitor where before i had a 21 inch CRT Monitor.
It took a little to get used to as the screen is wide and not high which is what im used too. From Friday night to Monday afternoon i couldnt use this computer so everything i would have done got put back which is why i am writing today

I went from a screen like this
To this screen
