So I following Richard's advice, I decided to replace the one component I could easily do: I borrowed a VGA cable from a neighbor and the monitor works! I was surprised. My old cable doesn't look crimped or damaged in any way, but whatever... it's a cheap fix. Actually, I sort of have mixed feelings about it. I had started to do some monitor shopping online and I was thinking, Christmas isn't that far away.... :)
