i found my old monitor and wanted 2 use it as a 2nd monitor but the cable seems 2 be missing 2 pins, i need some help seeing i could fix it.

attachment is the best pic i could get of the pins the picture is a blurry to fuck but u can tell the top row and the botton row only has 4 pins instead of 5, they is holes where the pins should be, but u cannot see that in the pic
