Hurro everyone,

So recently my Qnix QX2710 Evo II monitor decided to pack up. It is essentially not receiving any signal from the gpu. Amazon.com: QNIX QX2710 Evolution II 27" LED Monitor: Computers & Accessories
I have tested with different cables, and on an entirely different pc. I suspect that it is the DVI port that is faulty.
Unfortunately, the monitor literally only has this one input so I am unable to test anything more than that.

I took the screen apart to see if there was anything I could do. The PCB and what I believe to be the problematic port are pictured below.

I am unsure if it is possible to replace the port myself or if there are alternatives available? Any advice would be appreciated.
Also, if you believe any of this is salvageable for someone who might want spares or would be willing to try fix it, would it be sellable and if so, for how much?

Feel free to express some interest in it, have original packaging and in perfect nick apart from the above issue.

Hey bud,

Best chance might be to try find a replacement motherboard, or see if you can find a electronic engineer that can go trough the PCB for you.
 
You never said what the monitor does or doesn't do, does it turn on, can you enter the OSD settings, does the backlighting work, etc.

Turns on, there is no OSD on this monitor unfortunately. Backlighting and everything works fine. Its just that the monitor won't receive signal from the gpu, so doesn't display anything. If I jiggle the cable around A LOT occasionally the display will show but very distorted etc. Which has led me to believe its the port.
