cant connect monitor to laptop hdmi port is being used and I don't have a vga port

[blazeitboswell]

I am trying to connect a monitor to my laptop but I only have one HDMI port which is currently being used. My monitor has a VGA cord (i think. it has 15 pins and its blue) but my laptop has no VGA port.

Sounds like a VGA port (since it has the 15 pin). Which is a simple fix.

All you need, then, is a VGA to HDMI cable. They are pretty cheap. Here is a search I did on Amazon for them.

That should help you get the right one you need. Just be sure to compare the ends of the cables (when viewing online) to the end on your computer and monitor, to make sure you are choosing the right one.
