minor problem.... not 4.05 related

[gators66]

My vga cord from my second monitor to my laptop is very loose. The two screw thingies are not an option to use to secure the cord to the laptop because there'e no holes to screw them into the laptop. My question is how can i solve this problem. The second monitor I'm using has only the vga cord to hook up to the laptop no other option. Thanks

Are there holes where the posts used to be? If so you may be able to get some from a computer repair shop or the Best Buy Geek Squad.

HP computers don't have any screw or holes to attach the vga cable, if that is the case I use a stable surface and tape the cable to it. Not a high tech solution but it is the best that can be done.

Is there not a converter of some kind that I can use? vga cord to usb port? something along those lines. I mean the vga port does work but I'm concerned it will pop out at the most inopportune time. Tape is an option but seems rather primitive given modern technology and all
