Display ports offset too much
by Michael Piziak from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5F3B2)
This is not a Linux problem.
However, my HP EliteDesk G1 800 SFF desktop has 2 display ports, and they are both offset too low to get a cable in either of them.
I opened it up, and the display ports are protected inside a little metal box that is attached to the circuit board. I took a plastic pry tool and tried to bend them both up, from the outside, but no go.
Any one else seen this problem?
Everything else lines up on the back. I don't know how hard it is to take the rear panel off these machines. I am considering taking a Dremel to it.
Addendum: I just tried to put a usb thumb drive in the 2 usb ports below the ethernet cable - they don't line up either.
