Q: One of two Mac mini 2004 Displayport fails

One of two Mac mini Mid 2004 (new March 2015) Display ports fails causing one (of a pair of Samsung SyncMaster 2443bw displays) to periodically go dark. Swapping the dark display to the other display port works.

 

Both SyncMasters seem to work fine. Both are connected via Apple DVI to Display port adapters. Previous connections using Apple VGA to Display port adapters had similar failures. All tests point to periodic failure of the same Display port.

 

Disconnecting the failed SyncMaster completely and allowing the Display port to cool for several hours seems to be a temporary remedy. However, since December 2015 failures recur at random daily, weekly and monthly intervals.

 

Anyone have similar observations? Solutions?
