    problem with new laptop!!

    My old laptop got dropped and it was destroyed.I bought a new laptop but it doesn't have the correct port to work my HP. My HP plug only has 9 female plugs but the new laptop RGB port has 15 males.What do I need to buy new make it work? Please remember I'm not very good with pc's.

    Thanks for any help, Robert Rooker

    that port with 15 contacts is for a vga monitor. you need a usb to serial adaptor. most stores dont bother carrying them any longer,but you can find them on ebay or other online stores.

    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"
