Freind may be getting screwed need help

[ClarmonkGaming]

My friend has 2 vga ports on her computer. she says the monitor she has wont work on 1 port but will work on the other port for 15 -30 minutes then it stops the monitor. she brought it to a computer guy and he said that the other vga port is for a video card he told her that if she did not turn it off when moving the monitor cable. The computer guy said that she broke it is this real or is he just trying to get some money from her i have never heard of a vha port for a video card

Okay if I'm understanding this correctly: your "friend" is having an issue with their monitor's VGA ports. When their PC is plugged into one of the VGA ports it won't work, but the other does for 15-30 minutes (for some reason)?

Ports shouldn't have a dependency on video cards for one, but I'll bite. Does the PC shut off at all, or just the monitor?

She said what? Did you read my whole post?

I'd test with another monitor and another cable. I've known many monitors to go bad.

Thats what im getting from it like he never turned the pc on when he sold it to her he says that 1 vga port is just for a video card she has integrated graphics she says

You didn't respond to my whole post, mate. I asked if just the monitor turned off, or if the PC shut off as well. We need to narrow down the issue so we can help. The monitor turning off on it's own after 15-30 minutes is unusual and shouldn't happen unless the monitor itself is broken.

Wait, your friend is getting screwed? You wanna help?  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Also, test the PC with another Monitor. Also is she using on board graphics or a dedicated GPU?
