I can't help you with your search to connect to VGA, but I have dealt with bent-frame duos before. If you're lucky, maybe nothing is blown, there is only a short between the frame and the metal protector around the rear I/O connector. I've had duos return to life with a piece of electrical tape applied on the top of the protector where it passes through the frame. Mark ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
