    Sometimes, new cable can not fix broken connector.  There are DisplayPort and DVI connectors on your monitor.  Try HDMI to DVI cable.  HDMI connected to laptop, DVI connected to monitor.

    its not the connectors fault cause the original vga cable still detect the monitor's driver and the resolution is fine . only the screen turns pink.

    the problem with the newer vga cable is it can't detect the driver and the resolution is bad.

    it turns pink cause of the bending of the cable not the port

    Most laptops offer HDMI output for external display.  The cost of a cable is similar, would you rather have a digital signal video with better resolution than an analog with low resolution and blurry one?
