The video port is built-in to the logic board. If you tried a different display, and a different display adapter, then what you have left is the logic board.
This may sound too simplistic, but I've sometimes found that the pins on a video connector have become dirty/corroded and cause the problem that you are experiencing.
You can find connector cleaner at an audiophile stereo equipment store, or you can even use this product from Radio Shack: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103700
apply it to the pins of the connector, plug the connector in and out a few times (with your Mac OFF), let it dry, and then try it.
