Hi there,
I got a ViewSonic A75f that has two broken wires inside its VGA cable. It's the red and the blue wire, now I only have a green tone. Is it bad if I run it like that? Can it damage the monitor after a while? It's working right now, but I only have green which doesn't mind me.
 
There should be no problem.......

You should fix it though....its very inexpensive

I suggest getting a vga extension cable.......
Slice off one end....
Open the monitor and solder out the old cable and put the new one it, dont forget to put anit-tug device on the mutilated extension cable fefore you install it.
Test your connections with a galvanometer to make sure that your are getting solid connections.
 
If the VGA Cable is directly attached to the monitor then I'd say that the monitor is already damaged.

But a lot of Viewsonic's have VGA wires that can be removed from the monitor, which means you can buy another one to replace it.
