I need to replace a 15pin VGA cable in my monitor. Can I buy them somwhere or is there another way to replace them?

This is a bummer. I don't think you can easily do it yourself. You'd have to open the monitor and see how it is attached, and it will probably require a repair. Sorry.
(If I'm wrong, anyone, please chime in!)

I can repair it if need be, but I just need to get ahold of one. Thank you though.

Oh, I see what you're saying. Well, if you are good with a soldering iron you can use any VGA cable and just match up the wires using an ohmeter, I'd imagine. Try getting one from a dead CRT at a local PC shop.
Could probably make use of a VGA extension cable too, snipping off one end. they are sold at all computer stores and even many office stores.
