    Tweezers and a steady hand would get those pins back into some kind of alignment. Until the cable or monitor can be replaced anyway.

      I mean I did too but like – not often. Not nearly enough for it to be a worry. It was almost always because I was careless with a cable. In fact, I have far more problems with cables now that everything is microscopic and susceptible to dirt and wear. Those old copper pins and double insulated cables always were rock solid for me.
