If you are lucky you can use a DVI -> VGA adapter to keep the card usable.

and my monitor only accepts vga

But there is another connector on the card, a DVI connector. That may carry the vga signal as well, so you only need an adapter.

I ment to say my monitor only accepts vga and the port in the graphics card is broken all i have left is 3 hdmi's

my COMPUTER also accepts only vga

Do you have a soldering iron and do you know how to solder?

 

[nukemaster]

Please give us an exact model number of the card. I have yet to see a 5450 that has VGA + 3 x HDMI.

Most low profile cards have the VGA port on a short cable that connects to the video card board. Maybe you can just replace that part of the card.

Yes how do i replace that part where do i buy one?

 

[nukemaster]

Contact the card maker. Failing that, you may be able to get one an online auction site.

Its called a DE-15 connector so you might be able to find it that way.
