Chop connector off end of cable, leaving at least a 1" stub of cable on the severed connector.
Carefully strip the outer jacket off the stub, exposing all the internal cables and wires.
Use an ohmmeter on continuity mode to "ring out" the different colored wires to the individual pins of the connector. It is here that you will likely find one or both of the red signal conductors (likely a coaxial cable) to be open. Compare against the pinout in the wikipedia link to figure out any that ring open. Make a chart of wire color vs. pin number, as you ring the connections out. Check for continuity between the connector shell and the cable shield.
Strip the cable end coming from the monitor, prep and tin the conductors, and solder onto the new DE15HD plug, using the chart you made. If the cable shield needs a connection to the connector shell, you can make it with a short jumper wire, or a twisted bundle of the braid. Install a backshell and strain relief onto the connector, and you should be good to go.
