Let's try this again:

WHAT SORT OF COMPUTER IS IT? (Make, model.)

Are you afraid that we'll make some evil use of the information if you share it with us?

I was hoping for information specific enough to permit me (or others) to look up the specs for your PC. I'm sorry I can't tell you where to look on an HP machine to get the information. Dells come with a service tag sticker which serves to uniquely ID the model. Perhaps HP puts a sticker on the back that gives the model, serial number, build date, etc. There's certainly such a sticker on the back of my 2008 vintage HP/Compaq laptop.

That said, if the VGA connector has broken loose from the motherboard, it may be repairable. Whether you could find someone to do that for a price that would make it worthwhile, I don't know.

Yeah, at least that info narrows it down to about 50 Million PCs.

If it's a HP, shouldn't it have some sort of sticker showing the model number somewhere? Try looking at all sides of the casing, even underneath. And what do you mean, you "can't access the computer"?

first of all please provide information does your motherboard has PCI-E or AGP slot
there is no holes in case, but should be removable backplates (see attached picture) in back of pci/pcie slots. (on some cases you need to break those plates out usually using screwdriver)


google for agp and pci express pictures to find out your slots by looks (if other data is not available)
then you can buy a VGA that maches your slot. (agp is old so you can buy only used VGA for that slot)
but maybe you need to think about upgrading your system.
