Monitor Grounding Problem?

[pixelkick]

Hello all,

Recently as of about a week ago, my mouse started to randomly freeze and then jump to where it's supposed to be. Sometimes the computer would make the hardware disconnect noise and the mouse would dissapear. Naturally, I thought that it was my computer, but it worked perfectly fine if i just plugged in a different monitor. Additionally any other computer I plugged that monitor into had the same problem. I am currently borrowing a monitor and have no money to get a new one. Could it be a bad ground or something? I have an old monitor, a Princeton VL1916. Is there any hope of fixing it? Any and all help is appreciated.

The first Pc I used the monitor on is an Acer Aspire T180 with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ @2.7ghz cpu, 4gb ram, and a Nvidia Geforce GT520 graphics card.
The second computer is a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with an Intel Core 2 Duo @2ghz cpu, 4gb ram, and an Intel 965 express chipset graphics card.
The mouses I have tried are an E-Blue High Precision Gaming Mouse, a generic Dell one, and the built in one on the laptop.
The monitor is a Princeton VL1916 from 2004ish.

You see, its darn difficult to help you here as your post is super vague.

From personal experience, I can already tell you that when a mouse doesn't work, its rarely the PC or the screen. Its usually the mouse. Just a thought. Good luck bro.
